Stability Ball: Arcing Lunge

Video Transcript

"Our next clip is going to consist of arcing lunges. You are going to hold your stability ball nice and firmly with both hands. Okay, now you can either do these as static lunges, alternating legs, moving forward or you can do them walking so you have a choice. We are going to do them on alternating moving forward. You are going to come forward, arc across the body, extend the ball back on the side of the hip and then come back to center. Arc over to the other side, keeping the hip nice and stable, knee should stay behind or in alignment with the toe and come back. Now you are going to be feeling this in your shoulders, you will probably feel a little bit in your hip, your gluts and mostly your quads. Raise back up and you can see if you are walking doing this how it would kind of go. If you choose to do a walking lunge with the arc you can just pick going from point A to point B. You get an extra added bonus because you are working your upper and lower body at the same time. Keep your back nice and straight and body in alignment with the rest of the spine. You can go with your standard three sets. I would just suggest going between sets of 12 to 15. That would be my choice."
