Difficulty: Intermediate Bosu Stationary Lunge

Focus: Quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, core stabilizers

Keep your spine and head in a neutral position, stand with one foot on the Bosu and the other two paces behind you, on your toes (Fig. 1). Find your balance and lower your shoulders for stability, bend your front knee slightly and then lower your back knee until it almost touches the ground. Both knees should be at right angles (Fig. 2). Pause and then exhale as you use your front heel to push yourself up, making sure to contract your buttocks as you ascend up into the standing start position. Complete the required repetitions and then repeat with the other leg.

To increase the difficulty of this exercise:

  • Hold dumbbells at your side for resistance.


   


Considerations and Contraindications:

  • Ensure that the knee of the leg on the Bosu stays over your ankle.
