Get StartedLower Body Weight Resistance Overview
Now, lower body weighted resistance is purely using your lower body to control your upper body in movement. Now, when it comes to moving through your lower body, there's multiple factors you need to take into place. One is your foundation. So your foundation is the positioning of your feet underneath your body. If your feet are equally apart on either side of your upper body weight, you have a nice strong foundation. If you're in a narrow position and your weight, it can go either way, left or right, or forwards and backwards and not be balanced, you will not be in a stable position. So it's very important your foot position underneath your body is equal front or back, or left and right of the body weight.
Lower Body Weighted Resistance: Foundation and Technique
Understanding Lower Body Weighted Resistance
Lower body weighted resistance involves using your lower body strength to control movement throughout exercises.
Factors to Consider
- Foundation: Proper foot positioning is crucial for stability and balance.
- Foot Position: Ensure your feet are evenly spaced under your body weight to maintain stability.
- Balance: Avoid narrow positions that can lead to instability and potential imbalance.
By establishing a strong foundation with balanced foot positioning, you enhance stability and effectiveness in lower body exercises.
