This is one of the simplest, but most effective way of helping to build core strength.
Stationary Lunge (or split squat)
- Stand with feet hip width apart. Take left leg and step back approximately 2 feet standing on the ball of the foot.
- Start position: Feet should be positioned at a staggered stance with head and back erect and straight in a neutral position. Place hands on hips.
- Lower body by bending at right hip and knee until thigh is parallel to floor. Body should follow a straight line down towards the floor.
- Return to start position. Alternate or switch to other leg after prescribed reps.
- Remember to keep head back, and hips squared and in a neutral position throughout movement.
- DO NOT allow front knee move forward beyond the big toe - may lead to serious injury. Front knee should not deviate laterally or medially during movement. Back knee should not touch floor.
