Give Your Lunge Some Love By Following These 5 Tips!

However, as we continued to talk with Leslie, it seems that
the lunge is one of the many exercises trainers see done improperly.
1.) Keep Your
Shoulders Down & Back
Start with a straight back to begin this move. Avoid
rounding your shoulders by bringing them down and back and keep your chest
proud. Especially if you’re adding weights, rounding shoulders could lead to an
unnecessary injury.
2.) Knee Is Directly
In Line With The Ankle
Avoid letting your knee fall inwards and keep your knee in
line with your ankle to prevent extra stress on the knee. This often happens
when there is not enough strength in the glutes or when the exercise is
preformed too quickly. In the first picture, Leslie demonstrates what it may
look like if your knee falls inwards.
3.) 90 Degrees With
That Front Leg
That front leg should be 90 degrees at the knee, with weight
in the heel of your front leg and toes pointing straight ahead. Take a quick
check to make sure your knee doesn’t travel ahead of your toe. In the second
picture, I show what it may look like if your knee goes past your toe.
4.) Neutral Spine
We previously mentioned keep a neutral spine, but also be
careful not to lean forward at your hips. Think about having your upper body in
one straight line with your shoulders over hips. Also don’t drop the head, look
straight ahead to prevent neck pain.
5.) Give Yourself
Distance
When lunging, bring the leg a step and a half out from the
starting position. Having your feet too close together will cause your knee to
go past your toe. Also, have your feet about hip width apart so that when
stepping forwards or backwards, your body is well balanced.
