3. Keep your chin up, chest out, head neutral and eyes looking forward and slightly down. Maintain a nice fluid motion and keep your spine and back in a controlled position
4. Go below parallel, so that your butt goes just below your knees. If you find this difficult, go as low as you can manage.
5. Push through the heel to push yourself back up.
Bulgarian Split Squat Technique
1. Stand in a split stance with your back leg elevated on something i.e. a bench/step. While in this position, shift your weight slightly forward so your front leg is engaged and is doing all the work.
2. Keep your front foot on the ground, toes and heel both touching the floor and lower your body until your knee touches or comes very close to touching the floor.
3. Push yourself back up to the starting position while focusing on using your front leg to do all the work.
Lunges Technique

3. Repeat the exercise with the opposite leg forward.
Box Jumps Technique
