Bulgarian Split Squat

If you're really into challenging yourself and love when you feel shaky immediately after training, try the Bulgarian split squat. This move is great for targeting imbalances and because it's an unilateral exercise, you're really going to feel your quadriceps and glute light up.

  • Grab a pair of 10-pound dumbbells. Begin by placing the toes of your left foot on a bench, box, stair, or chair, with your right leg straight.
  • Make sure your right foot is out far enough so that when you lower your hips, your knee stays directly over your ankle.
  • Bend your right knee, squeeze your left glute, and lower toward the ground.
  • Press your right heel into the ground to straighten your right knee. This completes one rep.
