About the exercise

Bulgarian split squats are some of the most effective exercises to build glute muscles. Just like in step-ups, all of your glutes and deeper hip muscles are all activated all at once to stabilize your hip during the up and down motion. Make sure to lean forward with your trunk to fire up the glutes even more. This and many other exercises are part of our free workout routine.

Exercise instructions

Use 5 lbs dumbbells.
10 repetitions each side, 15-20 seconds rest.
Lean 15-30 degrees forward to fire up the glutes.
Maintain the forward knee straight and keep from wobbling side to side.
