Split Squat with Overhead Press
The Skill: Strength
Muscles that pack a powerful punch allow you to send a softball or kickball into the outfield. And with training, you won't be a one-hit (or one-kick) wonder.

Split squat jump with cycle
The athlete begins in a split squat position. He/she then drives up, the main emphasis coming from the front leg.
Split Squat
Stand about 3-4 feet in front of a bench and place one foot up on bench behind you. The top of your foot should lay flat on the bench.
Bulgarian split squat with front foot elevated: Place your left foot on a 6-inch step in front of you and your right foot on a bench behind you. Drop straight down until your right knee almost touches the floor.
The Dumbell Split Squat is also ideal for home workout situations in that you only need a couple of dumbells to get an AMAZING leg workout.
Dumbbell Single Leg Split Squat - Stand with a pair of light dumbbells grasped by the sides of your body. Stand facing away from a bench or sturdy chair. The bench or chair should be approximately 1-2 feet behind you.
Rear foot-elevated split squats for your thighs and butt.
Planks, side planks and rollouts for your abs.
Do pushups off a counter or bench if you are not strong enough to do them on the floor.
But not if I can help it:
Split Squats -Simply get the bar on your back, get into the forward lunge position, and squat from there on the one leg. A BRUTAL movement.
Absolutely! Another great altrnative (and one of my favorites) is Bulgarian Split Squat. Look them up on Youtube for proper form.
You can sub a lot of one legged moves in place of squats.
Good luck!

Some of the top strength based exercises that will help you accomplish this goal include squats, lunges, single leg split squats, which will also really target your abs as well, the leg press, step ups, and leg extensions.
For example, I always feel sore the day after doing pullovers, dumbbell flyes, Romanian deadlifts or Bulgarian split squats even though I've been doing some of these exercises for years.
