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.
