Exercise Description:
A Bulgarian split squat is a type of lunge exercise where one foot is placed on a bench or other elevated surface behind the lifter. This exercise targets the muscles of the legs and buttocks, and is a variation of the traditional split squat.
To perform a Bulgarian split squat, start by standing with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at your sides. Place the top of one foot on the bench behind you, and lower your body down until your front thigh is parallel to the ground. Push back up to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
This exercise can be done with or without added weight, such as dumbbells or a barbell.
