Ask an Expert SERIES: Three-Way Leg Grinder: Squat/Lunge/Curtsy

1/13/2016

 
​I'm not going to lie. This exercise SUCKS ass ... but it's these types of exercises that really kick up your workout game.

STEP #1: Start off by grabbing a weight exercise bar or weighted barbell that is easy for you to a manage.

STEP #2: Place the weighted bar behind your head ... resting lightly on your shoulders/upper back.

STEP #3: Next ... place your feet about shoulder width apart.

​STEP #4: Squat back by hinging at the hips and pushing your bottom back. You should attempt to reach a 90 degree angle with your squat.
STEP #5: Next ... lunge back with your left foot ... stepping back far enough that when you lunge down, your front knee is at a 90 degree angle ... with the majority of your weight pushing through the heel of your right foot.

STEP #6: From this position, step your left foot back beyond your right foot .... and perform a curtsy lunge.

STEP #7: Bring your left foot back to starting position [shoulder width apart and in line with your right foot.

STEP #8: Next do the same combination move using your right foot.

STEP #9: Continue doing this move for 10-15 repetitions for each leg.

STEP #10: Rest.

STEP #11: Repeat.

NOTE: Make sure your form is on point. If you start to feel yourself get sloppy with the squats and lunges, stop the series and rest. Form is essential so that you do not injure yourself.
