O'kay in this clip we are going to be doing a lunge on the balance trainer. Place your balance trainer firmly on the ground, put your rear leg with the ball of the foot on the center of the trainer. Take your front leg with a little stabilization, relax your shoulders and back in an upright position, you are going to lower it down and squeeze it up. In coming down you should keep nice and balanced and when you are coming up you are going to use your hamstrings and your gluts to bring it back up. You are also going to be focusing on your quadricep muscles. It is just like a regular lunge, exhale down and inhale on the way up. If you wanted to add an extra challenge to this you could add some bicep curls and you could take a medicine ball and do some chest presses or take your medicine ball and do some over head presses. You never want to plateau out, you always want to give yourself an extra challenge.
