How to do the Kettlebell Split Squat
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand with your arms hanging by your sides. Take a step forward with your right foot and position your left foot back, standing on the ball of your left foot.
- Bend both knees to lower your body into a split squat. Your back knee should hover just above the floor, and your front thigh should be parallel to the floor.
- Push through your right heel to return to the starting position, fully extending both legs.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs and perform the same number of repetitions on the other side.
Form tips
- Keep your chest up and your back straight throughout the movement.
- Ensure your front knee stays aligned with your ankle, not extending past your toes.
- Keep your feet hip-width apart to maintain proper alignment and balance.
