When ready, step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90 degrees. Make sure that the front knee is not pushed past your 2nd toe.Your knee should be just above your ankle joint. Keep the weight on your heel and when ready push back up and repeat with the other leg. Advance to jump split squats.
REPEAT 20 TIMES (10 PER LEG)
2. Wall Push Ups
Stand in front of a bare wall and lift your arms up to shoulder level. Place your palms against the wall so that they are slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Take a few steps away from the wall so that your elbows are bent when you lean on an angle into the wall. When you are ready push yourself away from the wall until your arms are fully stretched. Do not arch your back during a chest exercise as this will out pressure on your lower spine.
