The runner’s lunge warms up the lower body and increases mobility and flexibility in the legs and hips.
Instructions
Hold a dumbbell with both hands against your chest. Push your chest out and take a large step backward, lowering your rear knee toward the floor.
Push up through your front heel, driving your rear knee forward and up toward your chest, extending your arms overhead. Reverse the motion to return to the starting position.
Trainer’s Tips
Do not lean forward with your torso during the lunge.
Keep your core tight throughout the movement for stability.
