The Single Leg Reaching Lunge

 

  

       

 

This great exercise is used to define your legs, butt and abs, as well as improve your balance. The Single Leg Reaching Lunge is just one of the great exercises that you will find in Bodyweight Turbulence Training!

 

• To Start, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart in front of a small object that you have placed 3 feet in front of you.

 

Now stand on your right leg, balance yourself, and then bend your knee and reach forward to touch the object with your right hand.

 

Touch the object and return to the starting position without losing your balance. If you lose your balance and put your left foot down, then that rep does not count!

 

Without switching legs, perform the same exercise but use your left hand to reach forward and touch the object.

 

Perform all repetitions on the right leg and then switch.

 

As you get better, you can place 3 objects in a line (one to the left, one in the center, and one to the right). This will require greater balance.

 

You can also experiment with placing the objects further away from you.

 

Try doing 3 sets of 8 reps per leg, with minimal rest!
