Dumbbell Assisted Bulgarian Split Squat

A single-leg lower-body exercise where you perform a Bulgarian split squat with assistance from a dumbbell held in front or at your side to help balance and add resistance. Stand in a split stance with your back foot elevated on a bench or platform, then lower your hips straight down while keeping your torso upright. Push through the front heel to return to standing, focusing on controlled movement and stability. This variation builds leg strength, improves balance, and increases unilateral muscle coordination.
