Bulgarian Bag Walking Lunges are a dynamic lower body exercise that targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and core. This exercise involves performing lunges while carrying a Bulgarian Bag, adding resistance and challenging balance and coordination.
exercise_detail.how_to_perform
- Stand upright with feet hip-width apart, holding the Bulgarian Bag securely over your shoulders.
- Step forward with your right foot, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at approximately 90 degrees.
- Ensure your front knee is directly above your ankle and your back knee is hovering just above the ground.
- Push through the heel of your front foot to rise and bring your back foot forward to step into the next lunge.
- Continue alternating legs, maintaining an upright torso and steady pace.
- Complete the desired number of repetitions or distance.
exercise_detail.tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement to maintain balance.
- Focus on a smooth, controlled motion rather than speed.
- Ensure your front knee does not extend past your toes to protect your joints.
- Use a weight that challenges you but allows you to maintain proper form.
- Breathe steadily, inhaling as you lower and exhaling as you push back up.
- Start with a lighter bag if you're new to this exercise to master the form.
