Bulgarian Bag Reverse Lunge (alternating)

Video coming soon...

The Bulgarian bag reverse lunge is a dynamic exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps.

By holding the Bulgarian bag in a front-loaded position, it increases the resistance on the quads.

This workout involves stepping back into a lunge position while maintaining balance and control.

It is an effective way to strengthen and tone the quadriceps muscle group with the Bulgarian bag.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the Bulgarian bag in front of you with both hands.
Take a step backward with your right foot, lowering your body into a lunge position.
Bend your right knee until it forms a 90-degree angle, keeping your left knee slightly bent.
As you lunge, swing the Bulgarian bag over your left shoulder, maintaining a firm grip.
Push through your left heel to return to the starting position, simultaneously swinging the Bulgarian bag back to the front.
Repeat the lunge on the opposite side, stepping back with your left foot and swinging the Bulgarian bag over your right shoulder.
Continue alternating lunges, swinging the Bulgarian bag from shoulder to shoulder with each repetition.

Focus on maintaining an upright posture throughout the exercise, keeping your chest lifted and shoulders back. This will help engage your quads more effectively and prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
When performing the reverse lunge, take a big step back with one leg, ensuring that your front knee stays directly above your ankle. This will help activate your quadriceps muscles, giving them a challenging workout.
As you lower your body into the lunge position, aim to have your back knee hover just above the ground, creating a deep stretch in your quads. This will enhance the engagement of your quadriceps and promote muscle growth and strength.
Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button in towards your spine during the reverse lunge. This will not only stabilize your body but also help you maintain balance and control throughout the movement, allowing your quads to work more efficiently.
To intensify the quad engagement, consider adding resistance by holding a Bulgarian bag in front of your chest or on your shoulders while performing the reverse lunge. This will challenge your quads even further and promote muscle growth and definition.
