Small changes in leg exercises shift which muscles work hardest. Lunging forward or raising your front heel targets quads; lunging backward or raising your back foot targets glutes. The trainer shows how to adjust split squats, lunges, step-ups, and step-downs to hit either muscle group.
When you elevate your front heel in a split squat, you're going to work more of your quad. When you elevate your back foot in a split squat, you're going to work more of your glute. When you lunge forward, you're going to work more of your quad. And when you lunge backwards, you're going to work more of your glute. When you step up and forward, you're going to work more of your quad. And then when you do step downs, you're going to work more of your glute. Hope this helped, and follow for more tips.
