STABILITY DISK
Training Manual
9
Walking Lunge
Lower Body Strength, Hip and Ankle Strength, and Stability
STEP ONE
- Place one foot on the center of the
Stability Disk. Place your free leg about one-leg’s
distance behind you. Bend deeply through both
knees, dropping the body into a back lunge. Be
cognizant that your front knee should not travel
beyond the ball of your foot. Your upper body
should not hunch forward like a bent nail. Engage
your core muscles and stay perfectly upright with
your torso and upper body.
STEP THREE
- Bend deeply through both of
your knees, dropping your body into a forward
lunge. Be cognizant that your front knee
(grounded) should not travel beyond the ball
of your foot. Push off against the ground and
lift briefly back into the single-leg balance as
you go into the back lunge. Be sure to perform
equal number of repetitions on each side,
switching the foot on the Stability Disk.
STEP TWO
- Lift your back leg into a brief single-leg
balance and reposition it in the front, about one-leg’s
distance ahead.
