Low Lunge Leg Lifts

It's one of my favorite leg exercises!  Combing a low lunge with a leg lift gets extra bonuses!  You'll work your quads PLUS your glutes!  Feel the burn with this one!

Go down into a low lunge position.  Finger tips on the floor, one leg is bent and knee is directly over the ankle and other leg is back in a lunge position.  While keeping your fingers on the floor and that knee directly over the ankle, move the back foot in, do a toe touch next to the other ankle (static ankle), go back out with a toe touch (original position), bring that leg directly UP while keeping your leg somewhat straight and then toe touch back down before repeating.

Do your reps on that side before switching.  Work your way up to doing a minute on each side!  

Watch the video for proper form!  FORM IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE YOU DO NOT HURT YOUR KNEES!

If you need to modify and you cannot put your fingers on the floor, no worries, you can put your hands on a bench, step or a stack of books.  Only go as high as you need to and work towards getting closer to the floor each time with those fingers.
