Bodyweight Bulgarian Split Squats

Legs

- Start standing in front of a bench with your feet shoulder width apart. Have a straight spine and engaged core to avoid any hunching. Do not look down at the ground; keep your gaze forward.
- Raise one foot and rest it on the bench behind you.
- As we lunge down on our supporting leg, we keep our knee facing forward and in line with our toes. We do not want our knee to go past our toes.
- We want our back knee to be facing straight downward. This should be parallel with our front leg.
- The goal is for our front knee to create a 90 degree angle, however that takes increased mobility and stability. Go as low as you can without compromising form, losing your balance, or straining your knees.
- As we rise back up to stand, we push out of our front heel to engage our glute.
