How To Do Bulgarian Split Squats Properly
- Start by standing erect and placing the ball of one foot on a raised surface (6-12 inches) behind you.
- While maintaining a vertical torso, hips square and your glutes activated, dip your raised knee down until you feel a stretch in your anterior thigh, or reach 90 degrees of knee flexion in your front leg.
- Hold this position for two seconds before flexing back to the start position.
- To increase the stretch further, raise the surface higher or put your front foot out in front farther.
- Do not let your front knee go over your toes at any point.
