4DS Leg Question

[berry99]

I just received 4DS and hope to use it soon. I was previewing the clips on the website and saw that in one section Cathe uses a wooden board under her heels when she is squatting. I was wondering what purpose this serves. Does it just target the muscles in your legs differently than a regular squat? Also, does it put stress on your knees?

TIA,

Yes, it targets the legs differently, but I can't remember how! I've only done this one once (recovering from an injury now...). Anyhow, I do remember that she tells you the purpose of the board during the routine. So go home and relax on your Friday evening by previewing the real thing! Enjoy! Sorry I couldn't be more help.

She says it targets the front quad more. I don't use a board, I just use the side of one of my risers. I can definately feel it in my front quads. She does two sets. It could put stress on your knees, but just go slow and you should be okay.

HTH! You will LOVE 4DS!
