The next series of exercises is going to start to combine the gliding strengthening exercise with resistance training. I have either the hand weights that you can use or the soft med balls. So I'm going to start this first exercise, which is the forward lunge, with an overhead press, and I'm just going to do it with one foot on the glide to begin. So the weights are going to come to my shoulder, my palms face in. I begin that forward lunge and as I pull back I'm going to press overhead. So I'm combining my lower body exercise with my shoulder exercise, targeting the anterior deltoid, and a press. On the other leg, same thing, my forward lunge and then overhead press. Here's that view from the side on that forward lunge. Remember, knee over the front heel and back knee underneath the hip to an overhead press. That overhead press comes slightly in front of my face, and not directly above my head. Down, light grip on the hand, on the handles of the weights, and then I can progress that onto two discs where I have a forward lunge and my overhead press. And just two more. Think about core stability as those arms go up and over the head.
