Different Exercises for the Sartorius
An exercise to strengthen the sartorius is to do
squats. When a person squats, they flex
their knee and hip, causing them to work the gluts, hamstrings and the
sartorius. To do this exercise, a
person must stand shoulder-width apart and lower their buttocks to the ground
by bending their knees. Once the person's thighs are parallel to the ground,
they stand back up and repeat. This exercise can be done using body weight.
However holding dumbbells in or a barbell across the shoulders can increase the
resistance to perform this exercise. This exercise is shown in the first
picture above.
A second exercise to strengthen the sartorius is to do walking lunges. To do this exercise a person must stand upright with their feet together and take a big step forward with one foot and lower their body by bending their knee. Once the knee is approximately 1 inch from the floor, the person must stand up and lunge forward with their other foot. To increase the resistance in this exercise, hold dumbbells in each hand. Alternate each leg. This exercise is shown in the second picture above.
