Trainer Tip Tuesday: Bulgarian Split Squat
The Bulgarian Split Squat is an exercise that will challenge you greatly but you will be proud you accomplished it once it’s over!
To perform this correctly place your rear foot on the bench or platform behind you with your toes down. If you are using a weight, keep it nice and high in the goblet position to keep your chest up tall. Once you’ve found your balance point, sink the back knee down and toward the bench behind you. Focus on keeping your front knee over your ankle and not going past your toes. If your hips and knees allow, sink down till your front thigh is parallel with the ground and drive up nice and strong returning to the starting position.
Disclaimer: if you have ankle, knee, or hip pain or low mobility, this is not an exercise for you.
