Pulse Lunge
Target Area: Lower Body
Equipment: Not required
- Keep your upper body straight and place your hands on your hips for additional balance. Engage your core throughout the movement.
- Step backward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about a 90 degree angle. Make sure your front knee is directly above your ankle, not pushed out too far.
- Try not to touch your knee on the floor, but still lower it down enough to ensure a 90 degree angle in your hips to your front knee.
- Come up slightly and lunge back down to the bottom position before you push back up to the starting position. Perform for the number of prescribed repetitions.
