Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The suspended split squat is a lower body exercise that builds strength and stability in the legs and glutes. It engages balance and coordination by requiring one leg to be suspended, putting more emphasis on single-leg strength and control.
How to do it
- Start by placing one foot in the suspension strap, with the other foot firmly on the ground.
- Keep your torso upright and core engaged.
- Lower your body by bending the front knee until the thigh is parallel to the ground.
- Push through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.
- Ensure knees do not extend past the toes during the movement.
