Bulgarian Split Squats #LegDay

How To Perform:

1) Start by standing about 2 feet in front of a knee-level bench or step.

2) Lift your right leg up behind you and place the top of your foot on the bench. Your feet should still be about shoulder-width apart, and your right foot should be far enough in front of the bench where you can comfortably lunge — hop around a bit so you can find the right spot. If a closer foot position works, just ensure that when you lower down, your left knee doesn’t fall over the line of your toes.

3) While engaging your core, roll your shoulders back and lean slightly forward at the waist, beginning to lower down on your left leg, bending the knee.

4) If completing a quad-dominant Bulgarian split squat, stop before your knee falls over your toes. If completing a glute-dominant Bulgarian split squat, stop when your left thigh is parallel to the ground.

5) Push up through your left foot, using the power from your quads and hamstrings to return to standing.

6) Repeat for the desired number of reps on this leg, then switch, putting the left foot up on the bench.
