Lunges, Reverse Steps:
Stand upright, hands by your side, feet slightly wider than shoulder width and toes pointing forwards
|
Step backwards and drop down so that the leading knee is roughly at right angles (bent at 90 deg)
|
The trailing knee should avoid contact with the floor
|
At the bottom of the move push back up and step the trailing leg back to the start position
|
Keep the chest lifted, back straight and head looking forwards right the way through the movement
|
Repeat with the opposite leg
|
Top Tip:A complete beginner would be advised to perform a static split leg squat to help develop balance and coordination before working up to lunges.
