Muscle outlines from Body Muscles by Ivan Vulović, Apache 2.0 — regrouped and recoloured for Muscle Train.
Step forward with right leg, keeping your torso upright. Lower hips until knees are bent at 90 degrees, ensuring your front knee is over your ankle. Drive through your front heel to return to the starting position. Bring feet together and repeat on the left leg.
To maintain balance and prevent lower back strain, focus on keeping your torso upright throughout the entire movement, engaging your core to stabilize your body. As you step forward, ensure your front knee tracks directly over your toes, avoiding inward or outward movement to protect your knee joint. When pushing back to the starting position, powerfully drive through your front heel to maximize the leg muscle engagement and propel yourself forward. Actively brace your core muscles throughout the exercise to stabilize your spine and improve power transfer. Gently pull your shoulders back and down to promote good posture and prevent rounding of the upper back.
