5 Reasons to Incorporate Rear Elevated Foot Split Squats to Your Program

Despite feeling absolutely miserable during every second of split squatting, I have observed remarkable outcomes and advancements both in myself and my clients through the regular implementation of the rear elevated foot split squat. Listed below are 5 reasons as to why you should incorporate it into your program.

  1. Develop lower body strength: Rear elevated foot split squats target the muscles of the lower body, including the glutes, quads, and hamstrings, helping to build overall strength and power.

  2. Improve balance and stability: Since rear elevated foot split squats require balance and stability, incorporating them into your fitness program can help improve your balance and stability, which can be especially beneficial for athletes or individuals who engage in activities that require these skills.

  3. Increase range of motion: Split squats allow for a greater range of motion than traditional squats, which can help improve flexibility and mobility in the lower body.

  4. Target muscle imbalances: Split squats allow each leg to work independently, which can help to identify and address muscle imbalances between the left and right sides of the body.

  5. Variety in workout routine: Incorporating split squats into your fitness program can provide variety and help prevent boredom in your workout routine.
