Split Squat - back foot elevated

This might be the best knee dominant (leg) exercises I have ever done. For your next workout challenge yourself with this very effective exercise.

Start position
• Keep your back in neutral alignment, ie not arched or rounded;
• Maintain the weight centrally across your shoulders, ie at the top of an imaginary line drawn through the middle of your shoulders and hips;
• Focus on maintaining the loading of the exercise on your front leg while pressing through the heel.
• Place back on a box or bench.

Action (see below)
• Bend your knees and hips, dropping your buttocks towards the ground to lower the weight (action 2);
• Keep going until you reach a 60-90° angle of knee flexion with the front leg;
• Extend the knee and hip of your front leg to push yourself back up to the start position.
