Dumbbell Split Squat Front Foot Elevated
The dumbbell split squat with the front foot raised on a low step and the bells hanging at the sides; the deeper range works the front hip harder.
How to do it
Setup
Front foot on a low step, back foot a long stride behind on its toes, a dumbbell in each hand at the sides.
Steps
- Lower the back knee toward the floor, bells hanging straight.
- Let the front knee travel over the toes as the hips sink.
- Drive up through the front foot to the top.
Common mistakes
Bells swinging forward: they hang still at the sides. Pushing off the back foot: it only balances; the front leg lifts you. Back knee slamming the floor: stop just above it.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
