Hi, I'm going to show you how to do a combination lunge with lateral raise using a Bosu ball. You want to take the band. Place it underneath the arch of your foot. Make sure that it's not up high on your toes because it will come off and smack you. So you want to take your foot right in the middle of your ball. Your heel is going to be about on the second circle of your ball, so that we're driving from the ball upward. And we're taking the band, we're going to criss-cross it so that you add a little bit more resistance. The back leg, you're going to come up on the ball of your foot. Hip is going to tuck under so that that knee drives straight down towards the floor. You're lunging down and coming up with a lateral raise. And what we're trying to do is do this together, at the same exact time now. Lunge and lift. Keep the body stable, nine different angles. Optional move, if you want to bend the elbows more. Full version's going to lengthen, keep the palms down, we're going to go even with the shoulders, and release it. Take a deep breath in, exhale, and inhale. So try to get one fluid motion pushing the weight into your heel, and then the ball of your foot at the back. Think about two 90-degree angles. We're running north and south, execution of the move. Keep the abs tight. Try not to drop back on the heel. Keep it up in the ball of the foot. We're doing eight to 12 repetitions in two to three sets, and then switching legs. Elbows stay soft, wrists straight. And this is how we do our lunge on a Bosu ball with a lateral raise using exercise tubing.
