Walk This Way...

Or lunge, walking lunges that is.

Find an open area to allow you to take several large strides. Stand in the ready position, that would be?!? Feet hip distance and parallel, shoulders down and back, slight tuck of your tail bone to create a neutral spine and engage your core.

Step out with your left foot, land heel to ball of your foot and come into a lunge. Do not lunge deeper than a 90 degree bend of your knee, keep your knee aligned with your ankle and pointing over your toes. Press through your foot, engaging your hamstrings and glutes, to straighten your leg. Lift your trailing leg/knee toward your chest (really knee to hip height) and switch sides. Lunge for 15 repetitions on each leg, take a break and do it all again, 3 sets total.

Points to remember: exhale your breath with the action or as you stand, keep your core engaged and your feet parallel and get outside to get some air flowing through your brain!
