Test your balance & strength! The Shrimp Squat is a challenging single-leg exercise that targets quads, glutes, and core.
Standing tall, shift your weight onto one leg. Grasp the ankle of the other leg behind you, pulling the heel towards your glute to keep the knee bent.
Extend one arm forward for balance.
Initiate a squat motion by pushing your hips back and bending the knee of the supporting leg.
Lower your body until the thigh of your supporting leg is as close to parallel to the floor as your mobility allows.
Keep your chest up and torso inclined slightly to maintain stability.
Press through the heel to return to the starting upright position.
Maintain the hold of the trailing leg throughout the entire duration of the set.
