Get Outside and FLESS!


Take your workout outdoors when the weather warrants it! Turn your car or truck into an anchor and do reverse row front leg elevated split squats (FLESS). FLESS prioritizes your lower body muscles—perfect for "leg day." This exercise also helps to create better core stability and upper body stability, especially when using an added load. FLESS also trains your quads. The front thigh muscle gets worked through a long range of motion as you get into deep angles of knee flexion (bending). With your front foot elevated, you have the opportunity to drive your knee forward for a deep weighted stretch in the quads. Your glutes are also going to get a significant stimulus during this exercise, especially in the bottom stretched position. You’ll likely feel more glute soreness, especially if you’re used to a relatively shortener range of motion from traditional squats and split squats. FLESS will also nail your inner thighs (adductors), particularly in your front leg. This muscle gets a high degree of stabilizing action during the exercise, along with some dynamic contraction to extend your hips at the top of the movement.

ANNE SAGALYN, CLIENT SINCE 2019

I have trained with Troy Wentzlaff for five years, both in person and virtually. My goal in working with Troy was to get stronger, and that is exactly what happened. In addition, he pays close attention to the demands of my sport (dressage) and even came out to my barn to watch me ride so that he could best formulate a training program. Troy has a background in physical therapy and possesses extensive knowledge of functional anatomy and body mechanics. Through his attention to body mechanics, he has taught me how to use my body to maximize the strength I have gained and to minimize movements that could result in injury. He worked closely with me through knee surgery and shoulder injury, showing me how to strengthen surrounding muscles to support the healing knee and shoulder. He is always available to answer questions about equipment, technique and specific exercises. Troy is also professional and unfailingly polite and personable. I highly recommend him.
