Isometric Split Squat

The isometric split squat will build your leg strength and balance. To perform it, adopt a split stance and drop into a lunge position, ensuring your front knee is tracking in line with your front foot and bent at roughly a 90-degree angle. Your back knee should hover just an inch or two above the f loor, with your torso upright. Hold steady and feel the burn!

Performance Tips

• Keep your front knee stacked directly over your ankle to protect your joint.

• Keep your hips square and facing forward, not rotating.

• Your back heel should be lifted off the floor.

• Distribute your weight evenly between both legs for maximum stability.

• To make the exercise easier don’t drop as deep into the lunge position.

• If you feel unstable hold onto a fixed object like a wall or tabletop.
