In this clip we are going to do rear lunge with a knee up. And I will show you the advanced option with the medicine ball. Okay, what you want to do is stand shoulder width apart. You are going to bring your knee up and step back into your lunge. You are going to have your hands relaxed by your side or right on your waist. Okay, knee back in and step back. If you have issues with your balance, you can bring the foot back here. Get it ready for the rear lunge and then set it and step back. You are going to feel this through the quads, the glutes and hams and the calves. Bring that knee up. This will also help with your balance and help tighten and tone those legs for beach season. Press back. I would start off with two sets of ten to twelve and then build your endurance up and then build it up to three once you are strong enough. Of course, if that is too easy for you, you can always add the medicine ball option. Bring that knee up and push forward and back.
