Bulgarian squats

How to do it:
• Do 10 squats for each leg (20 squats in total)
• It is an amazing one-legged exercise. It mostly works your quads and glutes and improves your balance as well.
• You’ll work out your upper legs and abs as well
• You’ll need a bench or some similar support to do this exercise

 

Things to pay attention to:
• To start the exercise, take a step away from the bench with one foot and the other one put your other foot on the bench
• Watch your knee – it shouldn’t shoot over your toes as you go down (go as low as you possibly can). If it happens, then, perhaps, you are not far enough from the bench - take a larger step
• As you go up, push off the heel of the foot on the ground as you are straightening your leg
• Your back should be straight
• Watch your stability, it’s a very challenging exercise!!! To stay as stable as possible, contract your abs and glutes
• Count to one as you go down (but do it controllably) and to two as you go up
