Rear Tap Squat
Level up your leg day with Rear Tap Squats. This dynamic move torches your quads and glutes by combining a deep isometric hold with alternating toe taps for superior stability and endurance.
Instructions
Objective
Improve lower body strength, coordination, and stability by combining a traditional static squat with alternating rear-leg engagement.
Positioning
Start in a standing position, feet shoulder-width apart.
Stand upright with your core braced and chest lifted.
Movement
The Squat: Lower your hips into a standard squat position. Keep your weight primarily in your heels, ensuring your knees track over your toes.
The Tap: While remaining consistently low in the squat position, reach one leg backward and lightly tap the floor with your toe behind you.
Return: Bring that leg back in, then immediately repeat the tap with the opposite leg while maintaining the squat posture.
Engagement: Keep your chest up throughout the movement. Focus on balancing against the weight shifted onto the stationary supporting leg while the other leg taps.
