Squat

After the first exercise go straight into the second exercise with minimal rest. Then rest once both exercises are complete and repeat for the sets given.

Advanced: weighted 
Beginner: bodyweight or modification 

Form Tips: 
• Toes and knees pointing forward
• Good posture, neutral spine, and lock in everything from your hips up 
• Your focus is always on the leg that is forward 
• Plant your front foot with heel down and gripping the floor with your toes for balance 
• as you lower, allow your knee to come forward as you drive your hips back 
• push up through your heel, focusing on your glutes and quads 
• step together between each lunge to reset 

❌ don’t let your knee cave in or fall out 
❌ don’t use your back leg to drive up 

✅ do think about using your glutes and quads 
✅ do slow down

Walking Lunge

Home Form Tips:

• drive hips down on the bench or floor
