Bodyweight Split Squats Cues:
- Start exercise in a staggered standing position: hands on hips, shoulders back, chest up, core engaged, and front foot flat with back foot with heel off the ground.
- Drop straight down and bend at the knees, back knee under your hip, and front knee not over your toe. Keep weight on the front heel and balance with your back foot.
- Return to start position in a controlled movement for one rep.
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a dynamic warm-up exercise prior to walking lunges.
- Add to a bodyweight leg day routine as the lunge exercise movement.
- Use as a beginner exercise when learning how to perform a lunge.
