General and Specifics
- this exercise works the best on a smooth floor
- you can also do it on the carpet with a paper plate
Starting Position
- place one ball on the towel
- the feet are hip width apart
- hold the hands at the temples or the hips or stretch out the arms in front of you
- your body is upright
Correct Execution
- bend the leg, which is not on the towel
- at the same time, slide back with the other leg, it remains straight
- the supporting leg is in the final position, if the thigh is about parallel to the ground
- make sure that the knee does not protrude the toes, to preserve the joint
- knees and feet point into the same direction
- the upper body is tilted forward a bit, the chest points forward and your sight stays up
- put some pressure on the towel and brace the bottom
- pull the leg towards the starting position
- do several reps with one side, then switch
tip for the workout
- as in the Lunge With Dumbbells, use weights, a filled backpack or hold a weight in front of your body to make the exercise more intensive
