View this “clock lunge” video once through first before doing it to learn form. It’s okay if the traveling foot touches the floor for balance in between steps, versus trying to “hover” as we do in the video. Tighten your abs; land softly, and lead with your heel, not toes, when stepping out to lunge. Take small steps, except for the long reach right and left and you’ll see. Nice cardio hit at same time!
Take care,
Margo

This FitQuick segment “Straddle Squat” uses a BOSU (or you can use stair stepper or a stool). Doing these without any equipment is effective as well; just raise one heel, keeping your weight on the working/opposite foot. Super thigh and butt toning.
This video segment shows a modified plank, with your knees on the floor. For a more advanced, challenging position get into full plank. Aim knee toward shoulder, keeping arms nice and straight. A ‘very’ pregnant client joins me demonstrating this segment.
Take care,
Margo
