WALKING WORKOUT (PART THREE) FEELING THE BURN YET?


POWER LUNGE WITH LEG LIFT
This one targets: Quads, hamstrings, butt, hips, arms and abs.

Now I like this one, it is less intimidating and you get maximum benefit. Add this one on to the two from before (skater stride and sumo squat and lift)!

  • While walking, lunge forward with left leg, both knees bent 90 degrees (beginners, 45 degrees).
  • With hands in fists and elbows bent at 90 degrees, bring right fist toward nose, left behind you.
  • Shift weight onto left leg, straightening it, lower arms and lift right leg out and back on diagonal as high as you can.
  • Bring right leg forward into a lunge; repeat on that side.
  • Do 25 reps per leg, alternating sides.

If this causes ANY PAIN, STOP! And call your doctor or physical therapist. If you are having any pain at all give us a call and set up a time for us to check you out, so you can be on your way to a healthier, happier you!
