How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Repetitions: 8 per leg

Description: Hold the handles of the TRX with both hands and stand on one leg. Slowly bend the supporting knee while keeping the back straight, then return to the starting position. Perform the movement in a controlled manner to strengthen the knee.

Tips: Keep the knee aligned with the foot and avoid letting it pass the toes. Contract the thigh muscles to stabilize the knee. Breathe regularly throughout the exercise.

Progression: Gradually increase the number of repetitions or reduce the assistance from the TRX by slightly loosening your grip as you feel more stable.
