This exercise is called the forward lunge. Again our safety feature you place the foot in the center of the glide with your heel on the floor and I want you to press forward pushing the ball of your foot into the glide and then pulling back. So forward lunge position, pressing forward, dropping the heel of the foot to the floor, lifting the heel and going back so you are going to see that from the side. When I move forward I want my knee to be in line with my heel and my back knee under my hip and then I can lift the heel and pull back so I am targeting the gluts at that point in time. So my forward lunge and pull back. I'm going to go on both glides now and do an alternate forward lunge, standing nice and tall, remember neutral spine on top, lunging forward left foot, and pull and then right. This is one way to advance the exercise by placing both glides under each foot, lunging and pulling as you become comfortable with the exercise I want to look for a greater range of motion and pull that foot all the way behind me so I get more activation in the gluts. Forward lunge and a pull, again from the front view, forward lunge and pull and again that is our forward lunge.
