200 LUNGES

Here’s how to do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2n58m2i4jg

Body weight style or add weights if that's too easy. BE SURE TO ALTERNATE LEGS (200 per leg is a little much!) No weight? Grab anything a little heavy!

Post once to accept and post back again before midnight on Sunday once you’re finished!

    Done!

    I have a question, though. I have a hard time getting my knee all the way down when stepping with the right. If I brace myself with both hands on my knee, I can do it. Would I be better off not going all the way down so that I can keep my hands on my hips? And why would one leg be so much stronger?

Would I be better off not going all the way down so that I can keep my hands on my hips? And why would one leg be so much stronger?

    Just like we are usually stronger and more coordinated on one arm, we are usually stronger and more coordinated on one leg. Just to be clear, you don't actually want your knee to touch the ground. You want your back leg at a 90 degree angle. The position is right before your back feels like it wants to arch. I find lunges easier when I keep my eyes forward (versus looking down at my feet). If I look down, then my spine ends up curved and then it's much harder to keep good form.

    Many years ago I remember a trainer telling me that putting your hands on your leg during lunges puts stress on your knee, but to be honest, I'm not sure if that's true. Perhaps someone can chime in if they know definitely.

    Personally, I always say listen to your body and do what feels rights.
