Core Control Rear Lunge Instructions
1. Start with your feet together, hold a dumbbell in your right hand and extend your left arm out to the side, until it’s parallel with the floor.
2. As you step back with your left leg and lunge, extend your right arm up and rotate your palm forward.
3. As you stand up, bend your left leg, lift your knee as high as you can, bring your right elbow to your left knee, and rotate your palm so that it faces your body.
4. Repeat and then switch sides.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Engage your core for stability, face front, open your chest and keep your back straight. As you lunge, keep the front knee aligned with the ankle and keep your weight loaded in the front heel. Exhale as you stand up and maintain a smooth and steady rhythm.
