About

Do squats by splitting your legs.

How to Split Squat

Starting Position

1. Spread your legs to hip-width and then extend them forward and backward.

2. Open your chest and straighten your back.

Proper Form

1. Place one foot in front and extend the other foot back.

2. Bend your knee and lower the back knee close to the ground.

3. Push the front leg to return to the original position.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while going up.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to lean your upper body forward.

2. When bending your knees, please be careful that the knee of the foot you step forward with does not go beyond the foot.

3. Please ensure that your center of gravity does not lean too far forward.
