This is a real favourite exercise of mine as it hits my glutes hard as well as my quads and hamstrings. I find the heavier the load, the wider the leg spilt and the deeper I go the more it really gets deep into the belly of my glute muscle. Give it a go !
- Hold dumbbells in your hands & stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
- Take one foot back so the distance between your front and back foot is larger than a 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.
