4. The Split Squat
This is something you will do with your back against a bench or some other elevated surface. Your left foot should be on the floor a few feet in front of the bench in the top of your right foot should be on the bench. That means your shoelaces should be down. You want to have a dumbbell in each hand by your sides.
The weight of each dumbbell will depend upon your personal preference or strength. You want to engage your core and bend your knees to lower down into a partial squat. Your left knee should form a 90° angle so that your thigh is parallel to the ground.
Your right knee should be hovering above the floor. This is an easy exercise, so you’re going to do around 15 reps with one leg and then switch to the other into another 15.
