Exercise of the week - Lunge

Wow, isn't the time flying! It is the 1st of October already and the days are starting to really close in. I hope everyone is super motivated and are keeping up their exercise regimes, and healthy eating! It is hard to keep committed and motivated all the time, but if we do our best, we will get there!! Just keep striving for progression, keep with it.

I hope by reading this blog, it is helping even a tiny bit to keep motivated and keep going :)


This week's exercise targets the legs and bum mainly, so if these are your "problem" areas, get lunging!!
If you like, you can add in resistance by holding dumbbells by your sides. Get dumbbells as heavy as you can, aim for minimum 5kg each side.

Here goes...

1. Start by standing up straight, legs slightly apart.
2. Take a good step forward with your right leg, then bend down as if you are geneflecting in Mass. Make sure you keep your back upright and your chest up, and do not let your knees come over your toes!
3. Come back up to the start position, then repeat on the left leg. Also remember to squeeze your bum and put all your weight into your heels. Finally, remember to keep your abs nice and tight! A lot to remember but all very important steps!!


Relatively easy exercise to do and very effective!

Do these every second day, 3 sets of 12 on each leg, and you will have a tight, pert bum before you know it :)
