...Walking Lunges! Find an open space, so you can walk, stand with your feet hip distance apart, your shoulders down and back into your back pockets, find your neutral spine with your core (not bum) engaged. Maintaining this position, reach forward with your right heel (heel to toe controlled foot-fall) and lower into a lunge. Engage your glutes and hamstring muscles to stand and switch legs. Repeat this movement slowly and controlled for 15 lunges on each leg. Take a rest and do it again!
Do not lower your hips below your knees, keep your knee aligned with your ankle when you are in the lunge position, exhale with the action(up) and keep your core engaged. This is great to strengthen and stabilize your legs as well as increase core strength and stability and overall balance.
Happy Friday and enjoy a fantastic day!
