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

  1. Start by placing one foot in the suspension strap, with the other foot firmly on the ground.
  2. Keep your torso upright and core engaged.
  3. Lower your body by bending the front knee until the thigh is parallel to the ground.
  4. Push through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.
  5. Ensure knees do not extend past the toes during the movement.
