How to Perform Split Squat
Stand upright holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Step one foot forward and the other foot back into a staggered stance. Keeping your torso upright and core engaged, lower your body by bending both knees until your back knee moves toward the floor. Your front thigh should approach parallel to the ground while your front knee stays aligned with your toes. Push through the heel of your front foot to extend your legs and return to the starting position. Complete all repetitions on one side before switching legs.
