Bulgarian split squat (chair)

How to do it, step by step

1. Stand a long stride in front of a sturdy chair, facing away.
2. Rest the top of one foot on the seat.
3. Lower straight down, bending your front knee until your thigh is nearly parallel to the floor.
4. Drive up through your front foot; finish all reps, then switch sides.

Common mistakes

• Placing your front foot too close to the chair.
• Pushing with the back leg instead of the front.
• Losing balance by dropping too fast.
