WARNING!!! Please do not perform any of these exercises unless they have been prescribed to you by one of our doctors. When performed correctly, none of these exercises should cause any pain. If you experience any pain or discomfort during or after any exercise, stop immediately and let us know.
Purpose:
Strengthen the muscles of the lower extremities, with particular emphasis on the gluteal muscles.
Where to Feel it:
In your quadriceps, hamstrings, and gluteal muscles.
Description:
Start in a standing position with your feet spread wide apart (similar to the picture above except standing instead). Slowly lunge down, making sure the front knee stays in alignment with the 2nd & 3rd toes, and doesn’t go past the toes. The back knee should not touch the ground. Maintain “Spinal Ready Position" (#104), if you have been instructed to do so.
Tip:
As you perform the lunge, your torso should move straight up and down (not forward).
Reps:
5-20.
