DAY ONE EXERCISE: Lunge with Variation

As promised in our latest newsletter, I am posting a strength/stretch exercise every day for 7 days in a row - starting today. This should give you some new ideas for the end of your walk. Over the the next 7 days, after checking out our blog and viewing the exercise on the video, write the name of the exercise down on a piece of paper and put the papers in a bowl or box by your door. When you return from your walk, choose two papers at random and complete those exercises, 2 sets of 12 each! Let us know how they go by posting on the comment section here!


Exercise note: Sock has been removed on the foot of the stable, loaded leg. A bare foot offers good proprioception challenge. The other socked foot allows for easy sliding on the floor. If you have only carpet, put the sliding foot on a paper plate or frisbee to allow the sliding motion to happen over the carpet.

** Do not continue this exercise if it hurts at a joint, especially knee or back.
