How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Repetitions: 8 per leg

Tempo: Slow and controlled movement

Description: Place one leg forward and the other behind on the trampoline, then gently bend the knees to descend into a split squat. Keep the torso upright and control the movement to maintain balance on the unstable surface. Slowly return to the starting position without losing control.

Tips: Focus on knee stability of the front leg and keep your gaze straight ahead to aid balance. Engage core muscles to prevent tipping.

Progression: Gradually increase the number of repetitions or the duration of holding the lowered position as control improves.
