Leg exercises |
||||
| Name of exercise: ALTERNATING LUNGES ON BENCH | |||||
|
|
|
||||
| Start Position | Finish Position | ||||
| What to do: | Hold two dumbbells to the side of your body. This will make the exercise more challenging and also help your balance by improving your center of gravity. Stand a long stride away from the aerobics step. Lunge forward placing one foot onto the step and bending both knees and going towards the floor. Go down as far as you feel comfortable going. Push off the front foot and return to the starting position. Alternate legs repeating the above with the other leg. |
||||
| Don't Forget to: | When stepping on the step make sure you entire foot is on the the step. Don't just put your toes on the step. This will help reduce the risk of injuring the ankles. For the leg that is stepping forward, make sure that the knee stays above the heel and DOES NOT go so far forward that it is over the knee. This will save your knee from potential injury. | ||||
| Equipment needed: | Two dumbbells, aerobics step. | ||||
| Muscles worked: | Quads mostly, also glutes and hamstrings. | ||||
