Seven Squats You Need To Know

It’s time to drop it likes it’s hot.

You want to build strong glutes, hamstring, and quads. Then you need to know all the different types of squats you need to add to your workout routines.

Each squat works your muscles differently. Cycle through them all to make sure you are hitting your muscles at different angles.

Normal Squat
Feet: hip-width apart
Drop It: as if you’re sitting back into a chair

Sumo Squat
Feet: wider than shoulder-width apart and turned out 45 degrees
Drop It: slide it down like your between two pane of glass

Narrow Squat
Feet: directly under yourself
Drop It: as if you’re sitting back into a chair

Split Squat
Feet: hip-width apart split stance, similar to a lunge
Drop It: straight up and dow

Raised Heel Squat
Feet: hopefully hip-width apart, depending on device used
Drop It: as if you’re sitting back into a chair

Jump Squat
Feet: just wider of hips
Drop It: explode up and land soft
** I totally thought I was jumping higher – lol

Single Leg Squat
Feet: hip-width apart, but on one foot
Drop It: hips back, bend knee as low as you can go
** as you can see my ROM is short currently but I do what I can

PS: I sped up the video so I would be shorter. Make sure to do the moves slow and through the whole range of motion. Don’t rush these!
