Squat & Squat Variation: Bulgarian Split Squat

Instructions

Place back foot on a bench so the heel is pointing toward the ceiling.  Position the other foot out in front of the body so the right leg only has a slight bend.  With hands on the hips or arms straight to the side if dumbbells are being used, flex the back knee until the thigh of the front leg is parallel to the floor, keeping the back straight and chest high throughout the move.  Push through the heel of the front leg while maintaining balance with the back leg.  Common Errors:  Forcing the back leg to press instead of the front leg and letting the knee of the lead leg extend over the toe of the lead leg.
