Lunges

Beginners: always warm up before exercise.

Techniques:

Split lunge: step in front, to ensure you are doing this exercise correctly, as you lower you will see if you knee goes over your toes, if this is happening you to take a wider step forward.

The ankle in front and the knee stay in line.

Always remember the action is towards the ground not forward.

The action is in the back leg, you will also feel it in the supporting leg.

To start off with you can use a chair or the wall for balance.

Try to keep an upright position, shoulders relaxed and head facing forward.

Try to do 3 sets of 10 to 12 to begin with and increase this after 3 weeks. Try completing these 3 times a week.

Cool down and don't forget to take longer to stretch.

Let us know how you get on  : )
