Bulgarian Split Squat: Lower Body Exercise Guide
Introduction to Bulgarian Split Squat
Learn how to perform a Bulgarian split squat, a lower body exercise that enhances leg strength and flexibility.
Exercise Technique
Follow these steps to correctly perform the Bulgarian split squat:
- Position: Start by splitting your legs with one foot raised on an exercise step for a larger range of motion.
- Stance: Ensure your front knee does not extend beyond your front toe; adjust your front foot placement if necessary.
- Posture: Maintain shoulder-width stance, keep your back straight, chest facing forward, and eyes neutral.
- Execution: Lower your rear knee towards the ground, creating a deep stretch in both the rear and front thighs.
- Repetition: Perform the exercise for the desired number of repetitions while maintaining proper form.
The Bulgarian split squat effectively targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, promoting balanced lower body development.
