Success tips
START | FINISH |
•Place feet in a position so that when you lunge back, your front foot is directly under your knee and your back leg lines up under your hip.
•Keep your head and chest lifted, with a slight arch in the lower back during the movement.
•Do only one side to fatigue and then switch to the other side.
START
•Stand with your feet together.
•Hold the dumbbells at your sides with your palms facing inward.
•Keep the chest lifted, abs tight and a slight arch in the lower back.
ACTION
•Initiate the movement by tightening your glutes and slowly pivoting your leg from your hip. Move your entire leg backward, keeping your knee steady at a 90 degree angle.
•Slowly move your leg as far as you can, without allowing any movement at the waist, knee or lower back.
•Slowly return to start position.
