"Hi, I'm going to demonstrate how to do a front lunge with a glute extension. This is a compound exercise; we're going to be using quadriceps and glutes at the exact same time. Put your hands on your hips, shoulders down the spine. You're going to drop down at your lunge. As you lift up you're lengthening that leg; engage your glute, drop back down. So your body weight's actually going to transfer over that front leg. Don't lock out your knee or put pressure on that knee joint. Drop back down. Keep those hands tight on your hips, lift and then lower back down. Think about extension through the tips of your toes. Keep the hips parallel to the floor, we want to avoid rotating the hips open. Drive those hips straight down, lift straight up. We want to do about 8 to 12 repetitions on this one. You're heart rate's going to come up, it's a good thing. Then switch sides. So here's your setup. 90 degree angle: ankle knee and hip. Drop down, lift up, extend to the glute and then drop back down. Make sure you don't round your back out. Keep the chest lifted and lengthen. That is how we do a lunge, front lunge with a glute extension."
