Instructions
A split squat is a lower body exercise that works one leg at a time. Start with your feet hip-width apart. Place your right foot forward and the left foot behind your body. Keep your hands on your hips. Keep your back straight and lower your left knee (back leg) toward the floor. Try to get the knee of your front leg to a 90-degree angle and keep your front knees behind your toes. Before the left knee (back leg) touches the floor, press down on your right foot to pull back on the right knee. Then return to the starting position.
