Beginning in forward lunge position, front knee on top of ankle, back knee reaching straight down toward the ground. Add a weighted bar for added resistance. Be sure this bar is not placed directly on your spine, but rather on the muscle across your back. Push off the ground from the rear leg, until that […]
