| I have to say ... I love the "Product Placement" in this video ... ha! In this video, Kip from Solaris Massage is demonstrating another form of the WALKING LUNGE ... that incorporates an upper body coordination aspect. STEP #1: Start by hold an item like a bat [it can be weighted like the one Kip has, it can be a baseball bat, or it can be anything that resembles a bat ... like an umbrella or broomstick]. STEP #2: Hold this item across your chest with one end lower than the other. STEP #3: Lunge forward with your left leg. Your step should be wide enough that when you dip down into the lunge, the knee of your front leg should be at a 90-degree angle. Remember to press the majority of your weight through your heel. Do not allow the toes of your front foot to lift from the floor. STEP #4: As you lunge forward, switch the position of the bat so that the bat crosses the other way across your chest ... creating somewhat of an X shape. | STEP #5: Bring your right foot forward to match your left foot. STEP #6: Next ... lunge forward with your right foot. Once again, lunging far enough so that when you dip down into the lunge, your right/front leg is at a 90-degree angle. STEP #7: As you lunge forward, switch the position of the bat so that the bat crosses the other way across your chest ... creating somewhat of an X shape. STEP #8: Continue alternating the walking lunges between legs and simultaneously switching the bat's position. |
