Smith Split Squat
Equipment
Take a step forward with one foot, keeping your other foot behind you, in a split stance.

Push back up using the heel of your front foot, straightening your leg back to the starting position.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs and perform the same steps.
