Split Squats
Split Squats
These squats stand out for enhancing lower body strength, and you can do them anywhere! The trick is to put most of your weight on your front leg and really use those glutes. These squats work well for pretty much everyone looking to boost their lower body strength.
How-To Steps:
- Begin with both of your feet facing forwards with one leg in front of the other. Refer to the images below for reference.
- Keep your front shin vertical as you bend both your hips and knees at 90 degrees, kneeling one leg on the floor.
- Push up with your front leg then repeat. Do your best to maintain good alignment in that front leg (Straight line from your hip to knee to foot)
- *start at 3 sets of 8-12 if possible
*Never do an exercise that causes you pain*
