January Exercise

Bulgarian Split Squat

Targets – Quads, Hamstrings, and Glutes

Benefits – Strengthen and shaping; Balance. This is a single leg movement which isolates the leg.

To Begin:
Using low bench (or step) place backfoot up, resting on toes.

Hop your front leg forward and plant your leg, foot straight.

Make a 90-degree angle in your front knee as you dip down making sure your knee never your toe

Return up to start position. Repeat same leg 12 -15 times.  Switch and repeat on opposite leg.

Repeat 3-4 sets.

For more of a challenge, add hand weights.  Once you add weight it’s great for your core!
