The dumbbell overhead Bulgarian split squat is a hybrid exercise that strengthens the shoulders and legs. The movement also improves core strength, stability, and balance.
Instructions
Standing tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, hold a pair of dumbbells straight overhead with your palms facing each other. Place one foot in front of you and the other behind you on a bench.
Lower into a lunge until your front knee forms a 90-degree angle and your back knee is a few inches above the floor. Pause, then raise to return to the starting position.
Trainer’s Tips
Keep your front knee directly over your foot throughout the exercise.
Keep your core tight and your back flat throughout the movement.
