Bulgarian Split Squat

Starting Position

• bend one knee and place the back of the foot at the edge of the seat area
• place the other foot a little wider than step-length in front of the chair
• the leg of the foot in front of the chair is almost fully stretched
• the tiptoes point forwards
• your knee joint point forwards, too
• your back is straight
• stretch out the arms in front of your body

Correct Execution

• bend the leading knee
• it builds a 90 degree angle and does not protrude the tiptoes
• your upper body remains straight
• the other knee touches the ground a bit
• the foot on the chair only supports stability and coordination
• do not let the knees wander outwards
• afterwards, go back into the starting position again
• repeat the exercise with the other leg, too

tip for the workout

• the final position can also be used as a stretching exercise
