Split Squat Exercises
The split squat works the abdominal muscles
alongside the quads, glutes and hamstrings
to improve overall functional strength.
Coaching Points
- Start with your feet in a split stance position – your feet remain in a fixed position throughout the exercise, with your front foot remaining flat on the floor throughout the exercise.
- In a controlled movement, lower yourself to the floor – your front knee should move in line with your toes.
- At the bottom position, there should be a straight line from your shoulder to your knee – squeeze your glute to push your hips through.
- From the bottom position, I want you to think about pushing the floor away from you to return to the start position.
