Bodyweight Front-Foot-Elevated Split Squats

What It Is

A split squat with your front foot on a low step, so you sink a little deeper. It builds leg strength and hip flexibility.

How to Do It

Put one foot on a low step and the other foot about two feet behind you on the floor. Lower straight down until your back knee hovers just above the floor. Push through your front foot to rise. Do all reps on one side, then switch.

Tips

Hold a wall or railing if you wobble. Keep your front heel down the whole time.

Skill Level
