00:25 TRX Narrow Quad Squats

The outer quad muscle for leg shape and width

• Feet close together. Constantly push the feet outwards against the floor all the time. Up and down. To place all the load on the outer quad.
• Don’t straighten out at the top. This allows the inner and central quad muscles to be involved, taking the load away from the outer quad.

Inner and central quad muscles for thickness and definition

• Feet close together and lean forward slightly over the quads.
• Constantly push the feet outwards against the floor all the time. Up and down. However, this time straighten out and the top and SQUEEZE super hard for 2 sec.

03:55 TRX Hamstring Squats

Hamstrings and glutes for stability and shape

• Wide stance. Toes slightly pointed outwards.
• DON’T JUST SIT DOWN, pull the body down by squeezing the hamstrings. Imagine trying to burst a big ball between the ankles and glutes….
• Pause at the bottom. Contract the hams and glutes to stand up. Don’t lockout at the top, keep a bend in the knees and squeeze the glutes and hamstrings super hard for 2 sec.
