Instructions
Preparation
- Stand on upper platform with stirrups grasped to sides.
Execution
- Extend one leg back on forefoot. Lower body on other leg
by flexing knee and hip of front leg until knee of rear leg is
almost in contact with lower platform. Return to original standing
position by extending hip and knee of forward leg. Repeat by
alternating rear lunge with opposite leg.
Comments
- Keep torso upright during lunge; flexible
hip flexors are important. Forward knee should point same
direction as foot throughout movement. A long lunge emphasizes
Gluteus Maximus; short lunge emphasizes Quadriceps. See Cable
Rear Lunge for similar exercise.
