The Bulgarian bag lunge backward side swing workout is a dynamic exercise that targets the obliques and quads.

By incorporating the Bulgarian bag, this workout adds resistance to engage and strengthen these specific muscle groups.

The lunge backward movement activates the quads, while the side swing motion primarily targets the obliques.

While other muscles may be engaged to a lesser extent, the focus of this workout is on the obliques and quads.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the Bulgarian bag in both hands in front of your body.
Step your left foot back into a lunge position, bending both knees to a 90-degree angle.
As you lunge back, swing the Bulgarian bag to the outside of your right leg, keeping your arms straight.
Push through your right heel to return to a standing position, bringing the Bulgarian bag back to the starting position in front of your body.

Push through your left heel to return to a standing position, bringing the Bulgarian bag back to the starting position in front of your body.

Engage your obliques by maintaining a tall and upright posture throughout the exercise. Imagine a string pulling you up from the top of your head, elongating your spine and activating your core muscles.
As you step back into the lunge position, focus on driving through your front heel to activate your quads. This will help you maintain stability and control during the movement.
Keep your chest lifted and your shoulders relaxed as you swing the Bulgarian bag to the side. This will ensure that your upper body remains engaged and balanced, allowing your obliques to work effectively.
Imagine pushing the Bulgarian bag away from your body as you swing it to the side. This will create resistance and further engage your obliques, helping to sculpt and strengthen these muscles.
Remember to breathe deeply and rhythmically throughout the exercise. Inhale as you step back into the lunge position, and exhale as you swing the Bulgarian bag to the side. This will help you maintain focus, control your movements, and provide your muscles with the oxygen they need to perform at their best.
