Bulgarian Split Squat Leg Exercises

Bulgarian Split Squat Leg Exercises

These, I would say, are a bit on the easier side of doing leg exercises.

I would also rotate doing these 2 leg exercises style every other day. You can use stairs to do this or even (its all I got) using a closed toilet seat. All you need this for is a place to rest your back leg and foot. Check out the picture below.

Stand with a bench about 2 feet behind you and place the instep of your right foot on the bench. Keeping your torso upright, lower your body until your left thigh is parallel to the floor. Your left lower leg should remain perpendicular to the floor. Pause, then push yourself back to the starting position as quickly as you can. Do 12 to 15 repetitions, then repeat, this time with your left foot resting on the bench and your right foot in front. After you’ve worked both legs, immediately (without resting) complete the next leg exercises.

HIGH STEPUP Leg Exercises

Stand facing a bench or step that’s about knee height. Lift your left foot and place it firmly on the bench, push down with your left heel, and push your body upward until your left leg is straight and your right foot hangs off the bench. Lower yourself back down. That’s one rep. Do 12 to 15, then do the same number of reps with your right leg.

I would do as many single-leg squats as you can, then rest for 60 seconds… Repeat until you’ve completed twice the number of reps you achieved in your first set. So, if you do seven reps in your first set, you’ll do as many sets as needed to complete 14 reps. For each subsequent workout, this will be your repetition goal.

Each workout, try to reach your repetition goal in fewer sets. For instance, if you need five sets in your first workout, aim for your goal in four sets in your next session. After 5 weeks, repeat the entire process. But in order to keep improving, do the exercise while holding dumbbells at your sides.

I saw that when I was doing these, my left leg was stronger than the right. So I made sure I PUSHED my left leg more so until I felt that the tension matched on each doing these leg exercises.
