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
