Conseils techniques
When you're in the split squat position, your weight should be distributed evenly between both legs. A common mistake is to put too much weight on the front foot, which can lead to knee injuries and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.
Hold the kettlebell in the goblet position, close to your chest. This helps maintain balance and puts less strain on your arms. Don't let the kettlebell pull you forward or sideways.
Lower your body slowly and in a controlled manner, then drive back up through your front heel.
