Your back should be straight, with a box or bench behind you. It\u2019s a good idea to place a pad on the floor in front of the bench; this will absorb shock and prevent an impact injury.<\/li>\n<li><strong><u>Step 2:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0Lift one foot and move it behind you until it rests on the bench or box. The top of your foot needs to be comfortable on the box.<\/li>\n<li><strong><u>Step 3:<\/u><\/strong> Hold your weight and slowly lower your body towards the ground. Your back knee should touch the pad on the floor, but it shouldn\u2019t take your weight.\u00a0 It is important to keep your back straight and your torso tight while you do this. Your front thigh should be parallel to the floor.<\/li>\n<li><strong><u>Step 4:<\/u><\/strong> Hold the pose for a second, then slowly push yourself back into the starting position.<\/li>\n<li><strong><u>Step 5:<\/u><\/strong> Repeat! The aim is to do 3 sets of 8-10 reps. But be warned, these will burn. You may need to start smaller and work your way up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Pro Tips<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Make sure the bench or box is positioned correctly. If you are too close to it, then you will work your quads harder, but you may also feel pain in your knees. Stand too far away, and you may feel pain in your groin or hip. A stretching feeling is fine, but pain means you must move closer to the bench or lower it.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintain evenly distributed weight in your whole foot. Don\u2019t shift forward on the toes or exaggerate pushing through the heel.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Squeeze your rear glute at the top of the movement.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Want more?<\/strong> To learn more exercises that you can use in your training, visit our complete exercise library on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/FitMotherProject?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=bulgarian-split-squat&utm_content=&utm_campaign=fm30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fit Mother Project YouTube Channel<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n  <div class=\"author-box-wrap auth7\">\n    <div class=\"thumb-wrap\">\n      <div class=\"author-img\"><img alt='' src='https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/4c1aa318fb117be7a65baafe181815f64f06c5d805e851fbec353b43e71928b2?s=250&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g' srcset='https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/4c1aa318fb117be7a65baafe181815f64f06c5d805e851fbec353b43e71928b2?s=500&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-250 photo' height='250' width='250' \/><\/div>\n      <div class=\"author-details\"><div class=\"author-name\">Dr. Anthony Balduzzi<\/div>\n        <div class=\"author-job\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n          <div class=\"author-title\"><p>Founder, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fit&nbsp;Mother&nbsp;Project<\/a> &#038; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitfatherproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fit&nbsp;Father&nbsp;Project<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"author-desc\"><p>After watching his own Dad lose his health and pass away at the young age of 42, Dr. Balduzzi founded The Fit Mother Project and Fit Father Project to help busy moms and dads get and stay healthy for their families.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Anthony Balduzzi holds dual degrees in Psychology &#038; Nutrition from the University of Pennsylvania, a Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine, and is also a former national champion bodybuilder.
