Leg Exercise No. 3: Bulgarian Split Squats With Pulses Why does the name alone strike fear into my quads?

Step 1: Stand with your feet and legs together, about 1-2 feet in front of a step or bench.

Step 2: Extend your right leg back and place the toe on the step. Keep your hands down by your sides.

Step 3: Bend both knees, going into a one-legged lunge. Come back up and, straighten both legs, with your back toe still on the step. Be sure to keep your left heel firmly rooted into the floor.

Step 4: Complete eight full split squats.

Step 5: After completing the eight split squats, incorporate eight pulses by performing the same move, just at a faster pace.

Step 6: Repeat eight full split squats, and eight pulses three times on each leg.

I've got myself doing 50 squats and 50 lunges a day. Feels great.

These work! I remember many of these moves from the hour of warm-up exercises I had before ballet class at a college. I was in amazing shape and my legs never looked better!
