Static Lunges
This exercise strengthens glutes and core.
COMMON MISTAKE:
The front knee goes over your toes
RIGHT TECHNIQUE:
Track your front knee over your ankle to protect your joints.As you lower your back knee toward the floor, your back heel will lift.
At the bottom of the movement, the front thigh should be parallel to the floor and the back knee should point toward the floor.
Be sure to keep your chest lifted, chin up and abs contracted so your back stays straight.
The chest stays upright in the neutral position and does not tip forward. The hips to not hinge forward but stay in place and square.
