Hi. My name is Mimi and welcome to Cardio Power Moves. Today I'm going to teach a lower body exercise. They're called the running lunges. So it's a very easy exercise but it works your entire lower body. We're going to start with two lunges, right and left side, and then we're going to run back to the beginning of the motion. So let's start with the right leg, come all the way down, bend your knees at a 45-degree, keep your chest out, your abs tight, stand up, left leg same thing, come all the way down as low as you can about an inch from the floor, step forward and then I just want you to run back with your knees up, about four or five steps. Now were going to do this a little faster. Down, up, and run [DEMONSTRATION]. You can do about 15 times the same motion and that would be a really hard and great cardio exercise for you. So you keep going right, and left, and run. Remember to breathe and to keep that posture. Step, and step, and run back. One more time, big step forward, big step forward, and [DEMONSTRATION]. Great job you guys. Those are your running lunges. My name is Mimi, and I will see you soon.
