Most perceive meditation as a complicated art form—but it can actually be quite simple.

There isn’t one right way to go about it—the goal is to quiet your mind in order to be present in the moment and within yourself. You can achieve this in a number of ways.

What’s the best split for you? The two most common types are push, pull, legs (PPL) and upper, lower (UL).
