Supported Split Squat

Step 1. Stand in a split stance with one foot about a stride in front of the other, and hold on to a stable support such as a rack, a wall or the back of a chair.

Step 2. Lower your hips straight down by bending both knees until the back knee almost touches the floor. Keep your upper body upright and the front heel on the floor, then push through the front foot back up. Use the support only for balance, not to pull yourself up. Complete all repetitions, then switch sides.
