(Difficulty: Intermediate/Advanced)
Description:
Assume the same starting position as a normal split squat, however, find a small stair or box to elevate the back foot. Situate yourself next to a wall for more support. A higher elevation will increase the difficulty of the exercise.
With each variation, the intention of pushing through the heel of the front foot remains the same, engaging the glutes and hamstrings. Each can be performed body weight, or with the addition of weight or resistance.
