MIM: One leg lunges

lungesWant to get stronger legs?  One legged lunges are an AWESOME way to work your balance AND your leg strength!

To get started,

  • Find a stable platform that is approximately knee height.
  • Face away from the platform
  • Place your right foot on the platform
  • All of your weight is now on your left foot.
  • Bend your left leg into a lunge position, putting all weight in the heel of your left foot.
  • If you can not put the weight in your heel then bring your foot out a little further, your knee should NOT go over your toes.
  • Keep your chest high, do NOT lean forward.
  • Do 5 – 10 lunges and then switch legs!

**Bonus:  Keep your dog in a sit or down while you do your lunges. Great way to work on his/her dog obedience!
