Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: split squat.
Squats and lunges are the bread and butter of strength training. They work our big powerhouse muscles that are responsible for getting us from A to B (the glutes, hamstrings and quads) and keeping us injury-free as we do so. The split squat is kind of like a halfway house between those two exercises. On the one hand, you’ve got one leg in front of the other – like a lunge, but on the other, you’re staying static as you would in a squat.
