How to Do
How to Do Split Squat with Kettlebells
The split squat with kettlebells should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the split squat with kettlebells.

Movement
Split Squat with Kettlebells Movement
1. In your right hand, hold the kettlebell. Take a big stride forward with your left foot, pointing straight ahead and roughly shoulder width apart. In other words, the kettlebell is on the side of your forward foot that is facing you.
2. It's critical that your front knee does not extend past your toes, so make sure your front foot is positioned far enough front.
3. If you have anything to grasp onto (a chair, a wall, etc. ), then go for it. It's preferable to falling!
4. Bend your back knee slowly to the ground.
5. Go down to the ground in a straight line. Don't put your knee forward.
6. Maintain a straight upper body. Slightly tuck your chin into your chest. Maintain a downward and backward posture with your shoulders.
7. Push into the heel of your front foot as you stand up. You want to make sure you're working the glutes rather than the quads, and this will assist you in doing so.
8. Rep on each side for 8-12 reps, then switch sides.
