WATCH: Fail This Fitness Test and Die: /watch/IJbDdOIoGPQoD The front lunge is a staple of bodyweight strength training programs. But you can make the lunge even more effective by making some simple tweaks. Check out these simple lunge variations to strengthen your hip flexors and legs! Two week free trial of our Live Streamed Strength and Mobility Classes: https://bit.ly/uhlive2week In this video, Trevor explains how to do the lunge exercise with a focus on the hip flexors and quads. He also shows you reverse nordic curls to strengthen the quads. If you do lunges as part of your bodyweight workout routine, you may be making some simple mistakes of habit. By adjusting your lunges, you can train for even more functional strength that will keep your body balanced. By balancing out the muscles of your legs and hip muscles, you can avoid getting trapped in poor posture with stiff, inflexible hips.

    @vivianhudacek1556منذ 3 سنوات Y’all have the best videos! I so appreciate how you zero in on the seemingly small tweaks that really make a huge difference. Your approach reminds me of when I was a kid taking ballet. Our teacher was terrific, & so are y’all! ....وسعت 1

    @steverabbitsمنذ 4 سنوات Excellent video, you really have great control. I'm an older guy nowadays and you will find that as well as hip piking and knee giving way, balance id="hidden4" class="buttons"> becomes an issue in moves like this where your feet are not wide apart laterally. Wobbling is something that happens but like all these things it gets better with practice as the stabilisation muscles strengthen. Keep the good stuff coming guys! ....وسعت 4

    @curiousgee5513منذ 4 سنوات Wow this is terrific. I needed this. I also watched your foot placement. I appreciate you showing such detailed examples. Thank you!! 1

    @helenjohnson7583منذ 4 سنوات This is super helpful to see demonstrated in profile. I was afraid I’d hurt my knees doing the lunges that the trainer at my gym told me to do. Your form is more exact and it confirms the style that I learned in Svaroopa yoga. Yours is a very effective technique! Thanks!! ....وسعت 8

    @Jessica-zj1rwمنذ 3 سنوات Thank you so much. This was super helpful to me. When I'm alone I never know how to interpret all the things my body is doing as I attempt to work id="hidden6" class="buttons"> out, with proper form. I knew the feeling in my knee when I did this lunge came from weak quads, but I didn't know that it was natural for your hips to want to hinge that way. Thanks! ....وسعت 1

    @davidwayne9982منذ 2 سنوات makes sense. I've done martail arts (high ranking black belts in 5 styles) and I know the imporatance of angles. but it's been a LONG time id="hidden7" class="buttons"> since I was able to do any of it..

    @onceuponthecross1منذ 4 سنوات this is a nice variation. I like to do some sets for both stances as this hits more the hip flexing part of the quad while the other hits more glutes.

    @mattblatt01منذ 4 سنوات Thanks for this lesson! I am liking the channel! I am seeing a bit of conflict on overhead pressing. Should we be overhead loading our bodies repetitively id="hidden9" class="buttons"> with moderate to heavy weight? Some discussion on the shoulder being a small muscle and overhead pressing is dangerous, others say to internally rotate. Is it worth doing or not worth the risk? Thanks for the content! ....وسعت

    @ddemaineمنذ 4 سنوات Useful guide. The issue I have with lunges, is keeping balance on the trailing foot. How do you keep balance so well?

    @Oliver-mk1xeمنذ 4 سنوات Great video. When doing this exercise I find that most of my back foot comes off the ground and I’m putting basically all the weight through the big toe (which is quite painful). Do you guys have any videos on foot/toe mobility? ....وسعت

    @KumaBunمنذ 4 سنوات Oh wow -- after trying out your tweak, I really feel this hard in the glutes and hip area more than my quads! Can your tweak also apply to step-ups?

    @arsun6786منذ 4 سنوات There a way to focus more on iliacus instead of psoas?

    @colmrooney414العام الماضي if the quds dont fully engage the lower back compensates and the lower abs tense up mistaking for "core" engagement? Core should be include 360 id="hidden12" class="buttons"> degrees imo. also from the side you don't see that the legs need to have a slight gap between so the knee doesn't turn in. it allows for a slight curve in the legs as they are designed like a wave i.e. goata drop in. Spine needs to be straight and the leg angle should be at 90 degrees. practise the movement not the muscle- to gain strength/muscle we need to ask what for? ....وسعت

    @WooliteMammothمنذ 4 سنوات There's no transference to sprinting doing a lunge this way - the force is going up, not into hip extension on the back leg, where as with running id="hidden13" class="buttons"> the back leg is performing hip extension. Additionally, 99.99% of people don't have enough flexibility to have a neutral pelvis beyond 180 degrees of extension (standing), making it completely impossible to do the eccentric with any pelvic control. You are very flexible where as most people cannot even stand with a neutral pelvis. A little back leg loading is OK, but purposely loading the back leg is just not a way to do a lunge. ....وسعت

    @Lsi581منذ 4 سنوات Generally the back leg is there for balance and all your weight is on the front. Plenty of different types of lunges this is just one version of many
