Better Late Than Never..

...Round The World Lunges! These lunges I am borrowing from a workout posted on the Genesis Transformation Blog, the link is posted on the side bar. Sheri Lynn, the GT founder, provided this gem. Enjoy!

ROUND THE WORLD LUNGES: Imagine a compass, and use the directions N (north), NE (northeast), E (east), SE (southeast), S (south), SW (southwest), W (west), NW (northwest) and back to N. Stand in neutral stance, come forward with your right leg into a front lunge (N), and back to neutral . Then lunge with the same leg NE (45 degrees) to the front, and back to neutral. Next, a side lunge (E) with the right leg, so that the left leg is extended and the right thigh comes parallel to the floor, and back to neutral. Next lunge is SE, again lunging so that the right thigh comes parallel to the floor, and back to neutral. Finally a reverse lunge (S or South) and back to neutral. Now switch legs.

The left leg comes back into a reverse lunge (S), back to neutral. Left leg lunges SW, thigh coming parallel to the floor, back to neutral. And so on, as with the right leg, completing lunges for W, NW, and completing the round with left leg lunging N.

NO, YOU ARE NOT DONE. Now work your way back around, starting with the LEFT leg – lunging N, NW, W, SW, S and switching to right: S, SE, E, NE, N.
Do that whole sequence, all the way around 3-5 times.

Thanks Sheri, have fun!
