Fat Burner of the Week: Bulgarian Split Squats
If you haven’t heard of this amazing exercise, it’s definitely time to get acquainted. 
The Bulgarian split squat is a unique leg movement where one leg is challenged to stabilize and push through a movement while the other is allowed to stretch. So you get the benefits of both strengthening and stretching your legs at the same time. This is a great choice for anyone with tight hip flexors or those who need work on 
balance and stabilization.
Here’s how to complete it:
1. Rest one foot up on a chair or bench behind you
2. Balance on 1 leg (holding a pair of dumbbells – optional)
3. Slowly sit back with your hips and allow your back knee to lower
4. Push back up through the front heel
5. Repeat 8-15x
Tips to remember:
1. Keep your chest up and core muscles engaged
2. Keep the weight on your front heel and use the muscles in your hips and thighs
3. Do not push from the leg that is resting
4. Keep your shoulders blades pulled down and back for posture
5. Breathe in on the way down and out on the way up
