How to Do Split Squats

Split squats are a great exercise for working out the muscles of the lower body like quads, glutes, and hamstrings. They also work on your core and balance.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do split squats:

1. Start in a lunge position: Step forward with one leg and lower your back knee close to the ground. Keep your front knee bent at a 90-degree angle and your front foot flat on the floor.

2. Keep your torso upright and core engaged: Your back should be straight and your shoulders should be back.

3. Lower and Press: Dip your hips down as you breathe in and press back up as you exhale, pushing back up through the front heel.

4. Repeat: Then repeat with the other leg.
