Split Squat

How to do it

Stand in a staggered stance with one foot roughly two to three feet in front of the other, toes pointing forward.
Brace the core and keep the torso upright with the chest lifted.
Lower straight down by bending both knees until the back knee nears the floor and the front thigh works toward parallel.
Keep the front knee tracking over the front foot rather than letting it cave inward.
Drive through the front heel to press back up to the starting stance, working the quadriceps and glutes.
Complete all reps on one leg before switching, keeping the front shin close to vertical at the bottom.
