KEY POINTS FOR THE BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT
  • Start about 2 feet away from box.
  • Lift left foot and rest toes on top of box.
  • Bend right knee into a lunge.
  • Press into the middle of the right foot to stand.
  • Repeat until tired with one leg, then alternate legs.

Facing away from the box start about 2 feet away

Lift the left foot and rest toes on top of the box keeping hips square and left knee pointing down. 

Bend right knee to lower into a lunge without letting right knee move too far past right toes. 

Squeezing the right glute, press into the middle of the right foot to stand. 

Complete all reps on one side, then switch sides and repeat. 

Repeat exercise movement for as many reps as possible.

Bulgarian split squats are a great alternative workout from the regular squat. You can isolate each leg individually, they improve overall balance, build mobility and enhance stability. They are great for all fitness levels and can easily be performed on our plyo box station on our Apollo and Helios multigym.
