Tips

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

Place the instep of one foot on a bench. Step forward with the other foot, taking a slightly larger than normal step.

Contract your glutes, brace your abs and keep your spine in a neutral position.

Lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the ground.

Keep your upper body upright and your lower back flat.

Push up to the upright position. Stay in a split-squat stance.

Perform all reps for one leg and then switch.

Keep the abs braced and body in a straight line from toes to shoulders.
