Bulgarian Split Squat
LegsCore
Your rear foot rests on a bench behind you, laces down, just there for balance and a stretch through the hip — most of your weight sits on the front leg. Your torso stays fairly upright, hips square, front shin close to vertical as you drop straight down rather than lunging forward. Lower until your back knee gets close to the floor, then drive through your front heel to stand. If your front knee is drifting past your toes and caving inward, shorten your stance rather than fighting it. One leg finishes its full set before you switch — this one exposes side-to-side strength differences fast.
