Lunge
This week we are looking at a forward lunge. A forward lunge requires excellent control over the body and strength in the legs to lift and recover the leg.
Tips to achieving a good lunge:
- Turn front foot out to 45 degrees
- Turn the back foot out to 90 degrees
- Keep front knee turned out and over toes
- Lock back leg
- Push into front knee
- Take body forward to create a straight line from head to back heel
- Tighten core and keep body very still
- Ensure hips are square and straight
- Ensure when you recover from a lunge than you lock both legs, especially your supporting leg
- When recovering front foot, it should not be kicked forward but controlled to recover.

Depending on how close you are to performing, will change your ratio of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein and fat).
