LUNGES (Tb):

Muscles worked:
Primary: Quadriceps and Buttocks
Secondary: Hamstrings
Instructions:
  • Stand on the middle of the theraband with your left foot, which should be approximately one foot in front of you.
  • Grasp the ends of the theraband with each hand. Allow your arms to extend straight down at your side.
  • Step directly back with your right foot about six inches.
  • With your upper body remaining straight and leaning slightly forward, slowly lower yourself down until your left thigh is approximately parallel to the floor.
  • Your right leg should also be bent, with your lower leg (shin) parallel to the floor. The heel of your trailing foot (right foot) will raise, but should remain in the same position.
  • Once you have completed a set, switch legs and repeat.
Don'ts:
  • Don't let your front knee move farther forward than your front foot. If this occurs it means your front foot is not placed far enough in front of your body--move your front foot an inch or two farther forward.
