Forward Lunge

Welcome to your Workout of the Week, July 3!  This month we will focus on performing bodyweight lunges.  Keep in mind you can modify accordingly by not going down as deep or using a chair or table to keep you upright.

Keith Hoerman, Associate Chief Administrative Officer, will demonstrate these exercises.  Keith is a fitness enthusiast and exercises almost daily.  Crossfit is his main passion as he attends his local gym for total body workouts five to six days per week.  In addition, he also does some running, biking, and skiing when it’s in season.  To top it all off, he participates in Spartan Races to fulfill his love of the outdoors and exercising with his friends.

Whew, that’s a lot of fitness!  Keith, you are an inspiration and keep it up!

Exercise: Forward lunge  

How to perform: Stand up tall and step your right foot in front.  Keep your right foot flat and your back left toes on the ground.  Slowly bend your back knee and lower down one inch from the ground.  Keep both knees at 90 degrees and keep the spine upright.  Step back to starting position.

Duration: Perform for 10 repetitions on both the right and left side.
