Speedskaters have strong legs and powerful glutes. And though technically, you could call this exercise a "Leaning One-Leg Squat," I like to call these "Speedskater Squats" because of the position your body is in when you squat down...and you probably know how large the glutes of a speedskater can get. The lateral (side) aspect of the hips and thighs is something that is rarely worked in most training sessions...the "go to" exercise for targeting that area is usually the Side Lunge (which is also an excellent exercise, but can be awkward to perform). What I'm going to show you here today will have you leaning at an angle while you're doing a "lunge/single-leg squat" exercise. By doing this at angle, you work not only the Gluteus Maximus muscle, you also work the smaller Gluteus Medius and Minimus muscles that are responsible for abduction of the leg (which means moving the thigh away from the midline of the body). In English, it means these exercises are going to build you a GREAT butt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Try this total-body fat-loss workout...done in 3 minutes...with just ONE dumbbell... https://www.fitstep.com/metabolic-monsters/2/landers/1-optin/1-single-db-attack.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to my YouTube channel and Facebook page for more unique exercises and unconventional training methods: YouTube Channel ► http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=nilssonnick Facebook ► http://www.facebook.com/nicknilssonmadscientist Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/nicknilsson1/
