Elevate the forefoot or top of your back foot against a wall. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your head, torso, and hips should be in a stacked position. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hold onto a pair of dumbbells or kettlebells. You may also use a band. Keep your arms rigid, lats engaged, and pretend you are trying to crush something in your armpits. This will help keep your arms and the weights from swinging. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On the front foot, form a tripod base by placing your weight on the back portion of your foot, and the base of your big and baby toes. These parts of your foot should remain in contact with the floor for the duration of the exercise. Pretend you are suctioning or screwing your foot to the floor. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Before each rep, take a deep breath in (360 degrees of air around your spine), and brace your core (360 degree brace around your spine). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Now perform a split squat and take 3-5 seconds and lower yourself down to a range where you are able to maintain proper form. Stand halfway up, squat back down, and finally, press your body away from the floor and back to the top\/starting position (all at normal speed). This is one rep. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When you are performing the split squats, pretend you are \u201cpulling\u201d your body down with your legs. Don\u2019t just mindlessly drop down. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do not relax or lose tension when you are in the bottom position. Many people make this mistake. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For the duration of the exercise, do not allow your knees to fall inside or outside of your feet. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For the duration of the exercise, your head, torso, and hips should remain in a stacked position.
