Lunge Matrix

It's 3 move in one!  Form is extremely important in this exercise.  Make sure to keep proper form during all 3 lunges.  This is not a quick exercise, take it slow to ensure proper form.  Watch the video several times to ensure you know where feet, knees and arm placements are!

3 Different moves!  Grab something with weight in both hands that you can easy hold on too. 

One side at a time!  Do all reps on one side and then switch to the other leg.  This means that the front, side and back lunge is all done with the same foot.  If you start with your right leg, this means that the right foot steps into the front lunge, then steps out into the side lunge and then steps back into the back lunge.  The left foot doesn't move the entire time.  Then, after all your reps on that side, switch to the left leg and the right foot doesn't move...

Forward lunge (keep knee over ankle, not passed your toes) with a twist over the leg in front.  Be in the front lunge position before twisting.  Keep your body upright.

Side lunge with arm going down to the side foot.  If your right foot is stepping out into the lunge, then the left leg stays straight and the left arm has the weight and goes across the body to the right foot, then back up into standing position.

Back lunge with arms going overhead.  Step back into a lunge and then bring your arms up overhead.  Bring the arms down again before going into standing position.

Repeat starting with the front lunge again.
