Lunging forward at 45 degrees

Wow, not a great start to Sunday... late night of card playing caused me to oversleep! Sorry folks! Here is today's challenge. Don't let this super flexible gal intimidate you. The motion does not have to be huge to be effective! Main points to remember: If you imagine your body is the center of a clock, your right leg will go out to 2:00, and your left leg will go out to 10:00. Keep hips & toes forward! The video she is more angled with the direction she is going, but I want you to keep straight ahead. (Sorry, best video I could find for right now) Remember the knee doesn't have to go down all the way- just don't open up so wide, go down to just where you start to feel it, then raise back up. My friends with knee issues- hang on to a counter or back of a couch to support you- some piece of furniture that isn't going anywhere! You can step out, go down- repeat your reps, and then back to start. OR you can step out, go down, step in and repeat (like the video shows).

Good luck, have fun, 25 each side!

After you are finished, go play in the snow!!
