Exercise #1 – Forward/Backward Lunge

Simply stand up tall and step forward into lunge position, keeping that knee in line with your heel, tap back to stand position and take that same leg into a back lunge position, keeping that knee bent. You’re working on balance and core at the same time. I really want you to feel it in your glutes in that base leg that’s planted. Feel free to add hand weights if you need more of a challenge.
Switch legs and repeat on the other side. There is no magic number of repetitions; just do what is intense for you!
Exercise #2 – Lunge with Curtsy
Take one leg forward into a lunge, keeping that knee in line with your heel, tap back to stand position and bring that same leg back into a curtsy lunge. Lunge forward. Tap. Curtsy over. Again, just like with exercise #1, you are going to feel it in your glutes on that base leg that’s planted, keeping that active leg nice and light. Focus on your balance, core and stabilizer muscles. Switch legs and repeat on the other side.
Exercise #3 – Runners Lunge
Kneel down into runners starting position, take that active leg and push out, lightly tapping that toe and bring it back in. You should feel this in your base leg quad. Switch legs and repeat on the other side.
Exercise #4 – Side to Side Squat
On this one, the lower you go, the more you’re going to feel it in your glutes, but remember you want to work those inner and outer thighs too! Take it into squat position (placing your hands on your thighs or arms out in front of you) and tap your toe to the right and to the left. Try not to take that toe tap too wide.
You did it! See, it wasn’t that bad! 🙂
