Lateral Pressed Lunges: with balanced finish & flexibility
Start:
Stand tall, abdominals cued, db's set in press position
Execution:
Lateral Lunge to the side maintaining your upright posture.
Remember to keep your weight on your lunge foot to the heel, hitting the major muscles, keeping as upright as you can, abdominals tight.
Play around with the foot angle on the lunge side for your optimal landing and pushing position.
Once your set firm in the lunge, Press the Db's up and over head, making sure to elevate (think shoulders to ears) shoulders up and set.
Your other leg will stay straight to help stretch out the muscles: Adductors, Sartorius and Gracilus.
Finish:
Finish by exploding off your lateral lunge foot back to standing position balancing on one foot, while keeping the Db's locked overhead. You will start the lunge push off from the heel, finishing with a toe push.
Once in the standing position, slowly lower Db's to Start position, keeping your lunge leg up in the air. Now start the next rep with lunge leg still in air.
Perform 12 reps/ leg
Keep the lowering "negative" motion of the exercise slower than the lifting "positive" pressing/pushing motion.
