| Move of the Month |  Each month we will feature a fitness tip or move suggested by one of our professional staff of personal trainers. This month's tip is by our Fitness Director Kelly Bojan, CPT.
"One of my favorite moves is the Walking Lunge. It effectively targets every muscle in the lower body and will give you a little cardio to boot. When you perform lunges, use strict form and watch the knee alignment. This exercise is a staple in most of our cardio and strength classes at the club and even though they are tough, they really get the job done!"
Do three to five sets of 20 steps and perform three times a week to see results!
1)Start standing with your feet hips width apart. Keep abdominals tight.
2) Step your right foot forward and lift the back heel up; bend both knees so that your front knee is in line with your front ankle and your back knee is in line with your back hip and the back knee hovers an inch or so from the floor.
3) Contract the legs and step your left (back) foot in to meet your right foot.
4) Repeat with the left leg. |
