Alternate Leg Squat Thrusts

Place your hands flat on the floor, with fingers facing forwards directly under your shoulder joint.

Keeping on your toes during the exercise, take one leg from the rear, up towards the chest in a smooth motion.

Once the foot of this leg reaches the ground, the other leg should then start to come up towards the chest, and at the same time the leading leg should go back to the starting position.

Depending upon your fitness level will determine how far your movements should be. Small for beginners, larger for those that are fitter, remembering not to over stretch.

Stretch and Warm Up before you commence any exercise and aim to finish with some good stretching to let your body and mind recover.
