Split Squats
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
Split squats are a unilateral leg exercise that targets muscle strength, stability, and balance in the lower body. They help improve coordination and are excellent for isolating the legs individually, enhancing leg strength, and correcting muscle imbalances.
How to do it
- Stand upright with one foot forward and the other foot back.
- Lower your body by bending both knees until your back knee nearly touches the ground.
- Push through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.
- Keep your torso upright and your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps, then switch legs.
