4 Amazingly Easy Leg Workouts At Home

#3 Bulgarian Split Squat

In the Bulgarian split squat your rear foot is elevated. This powerhouse leg workout puts your quads, calves and hamstrings to greater use. It also helps to improve the core strength. The glutes are also heavily involved in this exercise.

Instructions

Step 1: Keep one foot elevated on a chair by bending your knees and the other foot in front of the chair. Your torso should be straight.

Step 2: Lower until your front thigh is almost horizontal, keeping your knee in line with your foot. Don't let your front knee go beyond your toes.

Step 3: Drive up through your front heel back to the starting position, again keeping a proper form.

Important Tip: Do 2 sets of 10-12 reps on each leg. The closer you stand to the bench, the more the Bulgarian split squat will emphasise your quads.
