Split Squat

Split Squat

Targets: Entire lower body, Abdominals, Lower Back, Rhomboids

  1. Stand tall with your feet apart. Have your hips in a neutral position so that you are not twisted and make sure your feet are on train tracks and not a tightrope. If you were to kneel your knees should be ‘just inside’ 90 degrees at floor level.
  2. Draw the belly button in gently and ensure no pressure is on the back.
  3. Activate the muscles around the knee first by bending at the knee slightly.
  4. Once the calves begin to tighten initiate the hip and sit backward placing weight through the heels.
  5. Breathe in on way down and breathe out on way up whilst driving the hips forward and chest up.
