9. BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUATS
Exercises like these that use only one leg can be very demanding – but also very effective. If it’s too strenuous for you, you can replace this exercise for the butt muscles with Backward Lunges (#13).
Stand in front of a couch or chair. Put one foot on the furniture behind you. Get down on your knees. Then push back off with the heel of the front foot and stand straight again.
In this movement, most of your weight should be on the front leg; the dropped leg behind gives you stability. The knee of the front leg points toward your toes. Repeat on the other side.
