Walking Lunges

Video Transcript

" The next exercise we'll do is the walking lunge, which is another variation of the stationary lunge. This one?s a little bit more advanced as well. And I recommend this exercise for only intermediate to advanced exercisers. And exercisers without any knee problems. What we're going to do is set up a good form. Keeping your abs in tight, nice and tall posture, shoulders back, head up. And from here, you can use your arms for balance. You're going to take a step out with either foot, either leg. Nice big step, the back knee comes straight down toward the ground. You don't have to lower all the way to the ground. In fact, I don't want you to. Ok, so keep your thigh all the way parallel to the ground. Knee stays over your foot, does not come past your toe. You can step together, tightening your gluts. Step out with the opposite leg. Bring your feet together, and again. Now a little bit more advanced version would be not bringing your feet together, in between. So I'll show you the advanced version. You'll step out, nice big step and another big step. As your doing this exercise, once again, focus on tightening your gluts, working those muscles. This exercise works your quadriceps, your gluts and essentially all the muscles of your lower body. But please do not attempt this exercise if have knee problems, if your new, or if you've had knee surgery."
