Front Foot Elevated Split Squat
Exercise Overview
The front foot elevated split squat is a knee strengthening exercise aimed to improve end range knee flexion tolerance. Start by placing a 12-16 inch plyobox in front of you and place your foot on it. Take a split stance position and lunge forwards while keeping your elevated foot planted. Lean forwards to allow your knee to past your toes to allow your knee to go into full knee flexion. Lunge back to a standing position to complete a repetition.
