Exercise: Lunge Balance

<< PREV     NEXT >>

• Stand in lunge position, with back knee resting on ground and arms extended out to sides
• Raise hips until back knee is 2-3 inches off ground; hold position for 3-4 seconds
• Slowly rotate torso left; hold for 3-4 seconds
• Slowly rotate torso right; hold for 3-4 seconds
• Perform 2-4 reps for each leg with 15-20 seconds rest

Coaching Point: Keep your chest up and center of gravity upright—not over your front leg. When you first get into the Lunge Balance, place your feet close together. As you get used to it, spread your legs further apart.
