RNT Abduction Split Squat
Exercise Overview
RNT ABDUCTION SPLIT SQUAT - REACTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR TRAINING The RNT Abduction Split Squat exercise uses a band to stimulate and engage the hip abductor muscles (outer hip). Complete a split squat motion while resisting the band band pulling you into a knocked knee position (genu valgum). Keep the apex of your knee cap in line with your 2nd-3rd toe in the front leg while doing a split squat movement as shown in the video. The slower the tempo the more control is required, ideally aim for a 4 second tempo to challenge the hip muscles.
