Bulgarian Split Squat | Corrective Exercise for Balance, Strength & Hip Stability

In this video, Dr. Ken Kaufman, sports chiropractor and MLB consultant, demonstrates proper form, progressions, and cues to help you master this challenging but rewarding movement.

✅ Why It Works:

  • Builds powerful quads, hamstrings, and glutes

  • Improves single-leg balance and stability

  • Enhances hip mobility and core engagement

  • Corrects asymmetries between the right and left sides

  • Perfect for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and injury prevention programs

🏋️‍♂️ How to Perform:

  1. Stand a few feet in front of a bench or step with one foot elevated behind you

  2. Keep your front foot planted and your torso upright

  3. Lower your back knee toward the ground in a controlled motion

  4. Drive through your front heel to return to standing

  5. Perform 2–3 sets of 8–12 reps per side

💡 Pro Tip: Focus on vertical movement and control. Keep your knee aligned with your foot, and avoid leaning forward.
