air squat
push - up
plank
give one example of a stability progression for the squat pattern.
your answer

Explanation:

• For the first question, "bilateral" in exercise training means using both sides of the body equally. This is a common understanding in fitness terminology.
• For the second question, a walking lunge is an example of a unilateral exercise as it focuses on one side of the body at a time. Air squats, push - ups, and planks are more bilateral or full - body exercises.
• For the third question, an example of a stability progression for the squat pattern could be starting with a basic bodyweight squat and then progressing to a single - leg squat. This increases the stability challenge as it requires more balance and core engagement.

Answer:

1. A. Using both sides of the body equally
2. A. Walking lunge
3. Starting with a bodyweight squat and progressing to a single - leg squat.
