Bulgarian Split Squat

Quads Other

Description

The Bulgarian split squat is a unilateral lower body exercise that targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. To perform this exercise, individuals place one foot behind them on a bench or elevated surface while the other foot remains planted firmly on the ground. They then lower their body into a lunge position until the back knee nearly touches the ground, focusing on keeping the torso upright and the front knee aligned with the toes. This exercise helps to improve lower body strength, stability, and balance while also addressing any muscle imbalances between the legs.

How To

01 Rest one foot behind you on a bench
02 Keep your front foot planted, torso upright
03 Lower straight down until your back knee nearly kisses the floor
04 Keep your front knee tracking over your ankle
05 Drive through your front heel to stand, then switch legs
