About the exercise

The key to activating your glutes during a split squat is to make sure you slightly lean you upper body forward because otherwise you will be mostly targeting your quads. Make sure to exhale on the way up and inhale of the way down to keep your pelvic floor muscles healthy. This and many other exercises are part of our free workout program for women.
