We’re talking about today a special variation of split squats which we find most people love or hate, and that’s the rear foot elevated split squat.
But, here’s the deal: doing these well means understanding how to make them work best for your body. There’s no single “right” way to do this exercise, and there are ways to progress, regress, or alter the exercise to work better for you, including:
- Adjusting your range of motion
- Changing how you load the movement
- Using assists like mobility sticks for balance and support
Any way you slice it, however, this is a challenging lower-body movement, but the goal is to find the version that feels strong, controlled, and appropriate for where you’re at.
Watch Coach Natalie break the exercise down in this video.
