Shotgun squat

Quadriceps - Calves - Hamstrings - Glutes

Shotgun squat
  • Stretch one leg while performing a deep squat with the other, so that your glutes touch the ground and without lifting the heel at any time.
  • When you are down with your leg completely bent, you rise up onto your toes for a second to contract your calf muscle.
  • Return to the starting position to complete one repetition.
  • To make the exercise a bit easier or if you find it hard to maintain balance, you can try doing it on a sloped surface or with some weight in your hands placed in front of your chest.
