12 Mar Reverse Lunge to Knee Raise: Progress, Not Perfection.
Posted at 12:05h in Exercise
One cool thing about starting these videos is that it allows (read: forces) us to document each week we’re at in our own fitness journeys.
When I met Krista last June, she was already in ridiculous shape.
But there are a few areas of her fitness that I’ve been able to help her improve.
One of these areas is lunges.
Performing lunges with proper form was one of Krista’s toughest challenges.
So, what you’ll see in this video isn’t perfection.
What you’ll see in this video is progress.
As we break down this exercise, you’ll witness the progress that Krista has made, as well as the next areas for improvement.
And next time you see us do lunges, she’ll be even better.
Just a wee bit better — every single time.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Starting Position: Lie down on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Hold your dumbbells together directly above your chest with your arms just shy of full extension. Your elbows should be slightly bent away for each other.
Step 1: Keeping your elbows in this same slightly-bent position, bring your arms out wide until your elbows are just above the floor. Pause for 1 second and feel that stretch through your pecs (chest).
Step 2: Squeeze your chest as bring the dumbbells back together above your chest, returning to the starting position.
