Day 60: Walking Lunges

Posted by AccountingWEB on Mar 28 2012 979 printer friendly

Fit some aerobic exercise into your day to get your heart pumping and your butt off your chair.

Step 1: Stand against a wall with your feet together and your hands on your hips.

Step 2: Take a big step forward with your right foot, lowering your body toward the ground until your right leg forms a ninty-degree angle.

Step 3: As you lunge, keep the knee of your right leg over your ankle.

Step 4: Allow your left heel to lift off the ground as you lower your left knee. Don't let it touch the ground.

Step 5: Keep your torso tall and your abs pulled in tight.

Step 6: Push back up to standing, swinging your left foot through to a lunge.

Step 7: Do three sets of twelve alternating lunges.
