Lateral Squat
| 3 | 20 | Perform the first set slowly with good form. For the next two sets push off strong, bring the feet together and step out to the opposite side. |
|
Overhead Squat
| 3 | 10 | Again pay close attention to form on your first set and stay very light on resistance. Keep the arms straight, feet flat on the floor. |
|
X-Squat / Drop Lunge
| 3 | 12 | Same as above. Go slowly, focusing on form and balance for the first set. Gradually speed up as you progress. |
|
Calf Raises
| 3 | 18 | Find a step and work on calf raises. Try to extend down over the step. Do one leg at a time if you can, or both if that's not possible. |
|
Walking Lunge
| 2 | 50 | Today's walking lunge will include a high knee raise between steps. So you'll step into a deep lunge (good posture, back straight, head up), then push off and step forward one step, raising the rear leg toward your chest. Put the raised foot down in front of you in the next lunge on the opposite side. Move slowly and methodically, practicing good form. Take a quick break and repeat. |
|
Resisted Twisting Lunge
| 1 | 10 | Finish off with 10 reverse lunges with a backward twist. You should feel the stretch as you twist. Be sure to keep good posture with your hips forward and back straight. |
