The Curtsy Lunge Workout on a Fitness Disc

Video Transcript

This exercise is called the curtsy lunge. It's going to start with a side lunge, and then the foot is going to cross behind the other foot and come back to that side lunge and bring the feet together. On the other leg it's, again, the side lunge, a little bit back on a diagonal, crossing behind, coming to the side and back together, starting with my hands on my thighs so I feel supported, and then starting to reach my arm forward to counterbalance my action. So reach, come across behind, and come center. So side, curtsy, side, together. Throughout the movement I am keeping my supporting leg bent until my leg comes to that side lunge position and comes together, so I start in an upright position, I bend, I stay in that bent position. Now to add a little bit more kinesthetic sense and awareness to the movement, I can watch my foot go out the side and then look and cross behind, come to the side and together. So that's going to advance the exercise just a little bit more. Throughout, again, throughout the range of motion I bend into that squat position and then stand tall, upper-body stays in alignment, heel drops to the floor and there you are with the curtsy lunge.
