Instructions

Split Squat on a Chair

Positioning:
1. Stand facing the chair with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Step back with your right foot and place the top of your right foot on the seat of the chair.
3. Your left foot should be flat on the ground, with your knee directly above your left ankle.

Movement:
1. Engage your core and maintain an upright torso.
2. Slowly lower your body by bending your left knee, ensuring it stays in line with your ankle.
3. Lower until your left thigh is parallel to the ground, and your right knee is just above the floor.
4. Push through your left heel to rise back up to the starting position.
5. Complete the desired number of repetitions on one leg, then switch and repeat on the other side.

Tips:
- Keep your shoulders down and back throughout the movement.
- Avoid letting your left knee extend past your toes.
- Start with a few repetitions and gradually increase as you gain strength and confidence.
