    The video directly addressed the difference between the two exercises, however it was hard to SEE the difference between the two. When Valerie describes the foot placement with the split squat, it would really help if the camera actually showed her moving her feet into position rather than focusing on her face.

    Wow, thank you. I just saw a workout with split squats and I couldn't for the life of me find out what was the difference between a split squat and a lounge. It's pretty clear now.

    First example is a split squat, well executed (not a lunge). Second is kind of a reach-deadlift.

    good info...a lot of different vids out there with their own interpretation of these two exercises. If you can't see the difference here simply focus on position of the kettlebells in relation to the front leg. (lunge - theyre even, in the middle, btwn front and back legs). Agree the video could show the entire body but it does zoom in on the knee, ankle and KBs so thumbs up. Thanks for the vid!

    The Bulgarian split squats w/ a chair or bench are even more effective because there's more of a range of motion. The balance it requires works your core a lot more too. Very underrated exercise.

    Interesting. I have always thought the exercise you demonstrated as a lunge was a standard split squat, and that to make it a lunge you simply step forwards or backward (i.e. lunge) into a split squat.

    • @simplejack891
      @simplejack891 8 лет назад

      +Kirrilee Russell its pretty much the same thing. split squats you just stay stationary while lunges are dynamic

    • @ali-nt1fv
      @ali-nt1fv 6 лет назад

      simplejack891, nope! There are forward lunges and static lunges, just Google it. Not to mention there is backward/reverse/rear lunges.

    Split squat is stationary. Lunge is dynamic. Execution is similar.

    • @GailOwens

      You can get static lunges as well!

    A lunge involves one foot moving...not static. So this video is completely wrong 🙄

    When someone is talking about foot placement during a leg exercise.. you would expect to see shots of the feet. Video taking 101? Instagram girls are better at making videos than this.

  • @oopssugar
    @oopssugar 10 лет назад +1

    This is in fact a STATIONARY LUNGE. why do people always want to rename exercises. This exercise has been around for over 35 plus years why change it now. Boo.

    • @ali-nt1fv
      @ali-nt1fv 6 лет назад

      Have you watched the whole video??? The first is static lunges, the second split squats.

  • @JanitorMusician
    @JanitorMusician 6 лет назад

    The most important part of a squat is your positioning of your back .... Wasn't even shown in the video and by the ways your legs look when doing it . Your form must be awful
