hi i'm kay and this is chris and today
0:02
in our master class we are going to do
0:04
five lunge variations
0:11
so the first one we will do that front
0:12
lunge so chris if you want to stand
0:14
shoulder width apart for me and in that
0:16
right leg i want you to bring that
0:17
forward with your heel down first and
0:19
then lunging that back leg right to the
0:21
floor and you want to be touching that
0:22
back knee onto the floor like it's a
0:24
piece of glass you don't want to smash
0:25
it bring that leg back up and push in
0:27
through your hamstring and quad and then
0:29
just swap legs again and do a few reps
0:41
thank you so a few people do make that
0:43
mistake of leaning a little bit too much
0:45
forward so just to keep that stability
0:47
make sure your back is nice and straight
0:49
and then some people tend to like chris
0:51
is doing here tend to just don't do that
0:53
full rep so you want to make sure that
0:54
knee does touch the floor for that full
0:56
rep and then bring it back up again
1:06
so our next lunge variation is our
1:07
curtsy lunge so firstly we want to make
1:09
sure our feet are both pointed forward
1:11
and chris is going to take that right
1:13
leg in a diagonal position backwards
1:15
just bring that back for me and again
1:17
that knee is going to touch the floor
1:19
keeping that torso nice and upright and
1:21
then bringing it back up and reversing
1:23
that other leg so to get that stability
1:25
you can pop your hands on your hips for
1:27
me chris and then pop that other one
1:32
and again crossing it over at the back
1:33
toes pointed forward every time some
1:36
people do make the mistake of not making
1:38
that wider stance and dropping that knee
1:41
and then you won't be able to drop that
1:50
so the next lunge variation is a lateral
1:52
lunge some people call these side lunges
1:54
so firstly we're going to start on that
1:56
right leg so the left leg and foot is
1:58
going to be forwards and that right leg
2:01
is going to go completely out to the
2:02
side if you want to do that for me chris
2:04
and that toe is completely following the
2:06
line of that knee the knee is going over
2:08
the toe that's absolutely fine and you
2:10
can push back up this is going to work
2:12
the inner thigh and more of the glute so
2:14
again go on this side can you see his
2:16
knees going completely over that's fine
2:18
his torso is nice and up straight and
2:21
his toe is going in line with his knee
2:24
and some mistakes people make on these
2:26
side lunges is some people tend to not
2:28
bend that knee so the one that you're
2:30
actually lunging into make sure you bend
2:31
your knee fully so that knee goes over
2:34
the toe and you're getting that full
2:35
stretch in that inner leg another one
2:38
people tend to make is they don't
2:40
lunge enough so you meant to make sure
2:42
you have that big enough space so you
2:44
can get that wider stretch in that inner
2:52
so next up we have the elevated back
2:53
lunge so firstly we're going to pop one
2:55
foot onto the box i normally say there's
2:58
shoelace onto the box there's a little
3:00
and we're going to take a big leap
3:03
so you can pop them hands on your hips
3:04
for a little bit more stability and
3:06
we're going to drive that back knee all
3:08
the way down it doesn't have to touch
3:10
the ground and that front knee can go
3:12
slightly over that toe
3:14
so now if you want to bring this front
3:16
leg a little bit closer to the back leg
3:18
and it's going to be a lot more quad
3:20
focused again just repeat that for me
3:22
again that knee doesn't need to touch
3:24
the floor at all and this knee can go
3:25
over the toe it's absolutely fine and
3:27
you can lean forward ever so slightly
3:29
just for a bit more stability
3:37
and last up we have our jump lunges so
3:39
firstly we're just going to sink into
3:43
you're going to jump up in the middle
3:44
and you're going to switch them legs
3:46
each time keeping them reps going
3:49
making sure you're landing on that
3:50
middle part of your foot you can lean
3:52
forward for that a little bit more
3:53
stability to make it a little bit more
3:55
difficult you can jump higher
3:58
thanks chris or to make it a little bit
4:01
easier if they are a bit tough you can
4:02
just start doing them reverse lunges but
4:04
add that faster pace into it this time
4:09
so i hope you enjoyed the lunch
