Split-stance squat

  • Duration: 8 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Weight loss

Stand with one foot a comfortable half-step in front of the other, both heels staying on the floor and your weight spread evenly across both feet, hands resting on your hips. Keeping your torso upright, bend both knees together and lower your hips straight down, as if sitting back onto a tall stool, then push back up to the start. Switch which foot is forward halfway through. Do 2 sets of 8 repetitions on each side.
