Bodyweight Split Squat Hold
The split squat held still at the bottom, the back knee just off the floor and the hands clasped at the chest; the front thigh works for time.
How to do it
Setup
Split stance, feet a long step apart, torso upright, hands clasped in front of the chest.
Steps
- Lower until the back knee hovers just above the floor.
- Hold with the front knee over the ankle and the chest tall.
- Drive up through the front foot, then switch legs.
Common mistakes
Back knee resting on the floor: keep it hovering; the hold is the work. Front knee caving in: keep it over the middle toes. Leaning the chest forward: stay upright over the hips.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
