The sumo squat slide-in increases lower body strength and specifically targets the quads, hamstrings, and inner thighs. This exercise also improves hip mobility.
Instructions
Stand with your heels together and feet pointed out.
Take a big step out with one leg, point your toes outward, push your hips back and squat towards the floor. As you squat down, reach for the floor with your hands.
Stand and return to the starting position. Then step out laterally with your other leg and repeat.
Trainer’s Tips
Do not let your knees cave inward on the squat.
Make sure you reach your foot far enough away from your body to create a wide base.
Do not let your heels raise from the ground on the squat.
