DUMBELL SPILT SQUAT

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 !

  1. Hold dumbbells in your hands & stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
  2. Take one foot back so the distance between your front and back foot is larger than a normal step.
  3. Contract your glutes, brace your abs and keep your spine in a neutral position.
  4. Lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the ground.
  5. Keep your upper body upright and your lower back flat. Push up to the upright position.
  6. Stay in a split squat stance. Perform all reps for one leg and then switch.
