Bulgarian Split Squat
Bulgarian Split Squats
Today’s movement is great for building lower-body strength and stability. It also improves balance and helps to reduce the risk of injury in daily life!
How-To Steps:
- Set up: Stand facing away from a sturdy table, ottoman, couch, chair, etc. Take a step or two away from the table. Place your non-symptomatic leg with the top of your foot resting on the table.
- Place your hands on hips, keep your back straight, engage your core and lower body as you go down into a lunge. Keep your knee in line with your foot as you go down.
- When raising yourself back up, press through your heel and dive your hips towards to ceiling.
Do 10 reps, 3 times.
💡 Tip: Keep your front knee stacked over your ankle and lower your back knee straight down toward the ground.
Variation: Add dumbbells to level up the intensity and focus on controlled movement through the full range of motion! *If you add dumbbells, the weight should be something you’re comfortable with holding for a few minutes.
