Banded Bulgarian Split Squat

How to do it

  1. Stand a couple of feet in front of a bench. Reach one foot back and rest the top of it on the bench, with the front foot planted flat.
  2. Place the middle of a long resistance band under the front foot and hold one end of the band in each hand at shoulder height. This is the starting position.
  3. Keeping your chest up and your torso upright, bend the front knee and lower your hips until the front thigh is roughly parallel to the floor.
  4. Drive through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position, against the pull of the band.
  5. Complete the repetitions on that leg, then swap the legs over and repeat.
