In this week’s video we cover the lunge. We often find that when people express a fear of lunges, due to a history of knee pain with the movement, these simple form corrections can leave them pleasantly surprised.
Give these simple form corrections a go with your lunge, and let us know how it works out for you.
-
How’s your split squat?
- about 90 degrees at both knees
- hips are underneath you
- feel the floor with your entire front foot
-
Slow down the lunge into manageable pieces before moving quickly
- Step
- Stabilize
- Drop
- Drive
-
Add movement (i.e. walking lunges) only after mastering the basic lunge
