Lunge Matrix

Exercise Instructions

Description

Begin in a standing position with feet together. Take a big step forward and lower your back knee down until it is 1-2 inches from the ground. Make sure your front knee does not pass over your toes. Using your front leg push off the floor through your heel and return to the starting position. Then perform a lunge diagonally about 45 degrees. If the first step was to 12 o’clock this next step is to 1 or 2 o’clock. Make sure your foot, hips, and shoulders are all pointing straight ahead and perform the lunge. Next perform a lunge to 3 o’clock keeping everything pointing forward. The leg you did not step with will stay straight. Next take a lunge to 4 or 5 o’clock and finally back to 6 o’clock. Make sure to keep good upright posture throughout the exercise. Exercise description and photo by Michael Diebler.
