Dumbbell Low Split Squat

Expert Advice

Ensure your front knee does not extend past your toes to maintain proper form and reduce the risk of injury.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Begin by standing with feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand by your sides.
  2. Step one foot back about two feet and balance on the ball of that foot.
  3. Lower your body down into a split squat, keeping your front knee in line with your front foot.
  4. Drive through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position.
  5. Complete the desired number of reps on one leg before switching to the other leg.
