This exercise focuses on gastroc’s, peroneals, posterior muscle chain and core. Key is to keep glutes and transverse adominus (TA) tight. To contract TA, exhale and draw abdomen inwards. This is not the same as “sucking your gut in”. Doing that displaces organs up into the diaphragm. Rather, we are looking too draw the abdomen in which tightens the TA. Hold this contraction throughout the exercise.
Keep the weight over the first to third metatarsals. Don’t let the foot rotate pressure to the outside. Keeping weight over these metatarsals will recruit the Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO) as well (medial quad muscle right above knee).
