How to do the Split Squats

1. Stand with one foot forward and the other stepped back into a split stance.
2. Bend both knees to lower your hips straight down, keeping the front knee aligned over the ankle and the back knee hovering just above the floor.
3. Push through your front heel to return to standing and repeat before switching sides.

Tips

• Engage your core to stay balanced and upright.
• Move with controlled, steady reps for best results.

Adjustments

• Limit the depth if flexibility or strength is still building.
• Hold a chair or wall for support if needed.
• Slow the tempo to dial in your form.
