Deep Lunge Circle

Deep Lunge Circle

Positioning

1. Start in a standing position with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Step your right foot forward into a deep lunge, bending your right knee while keeping your left leg extended behind you.
3. Your right knee should be aligned directly over your right ankle.
4. Keep your chest lifted and your shoulders relaxed, looking straight ahead.
5. Place your left hand on the floor inside your right foot for balance, and raise your right arm toward the ceiling.

Movement

1. From the lunge position, begin to shift your weight towards your front foot (right foot).
2. As you do this, bring your left knee toward your chest while still in the lunge.
3. Continue moving your left knee in a circular motion, as if you are drawing a circle with your knee.
4. Complete the circular motion and place your left foot back down, returning to the lunge position.
5. Repeat the circle a few times in one direction, then switch to the opposite direction.
6. After completing the circles, step back into a standing position and repeat on the other side.

Tips

- Ensure you maintain proper alignment in your knees and hips throughout the movement.
- If you're unsteady, you can perform this exercise near a wall or sturdy surface for support.
- Focus on controlled movements to maximize effectiveness and reduce risk of injury.
