aS Sling Trainer – Squat (basic)

One of the most basic exercises is the squat. For this reason we present you the squat in the base version today.

Setting up your aeroSling Sling Trainer

• Rope length: Full length
• Grip mode: Dual handle mode

Starting position

• Look to the anchor point
• Feet hip width apart and placed parallel
• Your arms are outstretched in front of you, the handles are at the height of your belly button.

Movement sequence

• Bend your knee and you try to sit with your back on the floor.
• Just before your back actually reach the ground you stop.
• Your back should now be as close as possible to your heels.

Major muscle groups

• Front of thigh (quadriceps)
• (Large) Gluteal muscle

Variation

• Your feet closer or wider
• Slightly staggered step position
• In the starting position slightly further forward to take less “help” on the aeroSling .
• While sitting down, the arms are slightly bent.
• One-legged squats (see aS Sling trainer – Pistol)

Important notes

• The weight is shifted slightly more on your heels during the squat.
• Make sure that the heels are on the ground and there also remains especially when you reach the lowest point is to.
• During the squat you’re trying the aeroSling to “abuse” as little as possible.
• Your power comes mainly from your glutes and your legs.
