Build muscle at home

SPLIT SQUAT

Target Muscles: quadriceps

Set Up: Hold a pair of dumbbells at your sides and place one foot on a bench behind you, laces down [A].

Action: Bend your front knee and lower straight down, keeping your knee in line with your toes [B]. Straighten your leg to come back to the start position. Complete the set and then switch sides.

Do three sets of 10-12 reps on each leg.

DON’T HAVE A BENCH? TRY THE MOVE WITH A CHAIR INSTEAD!
