Walking Lunges

(This can be done around the half circle on the field.)

Start by standing up, facing straight ahead with hands on hips to help keep center of gravity.Then with right leg, step forward as far as possible without losing your balance. The right knee should be superior to right ankle. The left hip extensors should be behind with the knee about 3-4 inches above the ground. Hold this position for about 2-3 seconds. Bring left leg even with right leg. This should bring you back to the starting position (standing up, facing forward). Repeat these steps with the left leg. Continue alternating legs (walking) around the circle. Walking lunges occur in the sagittal plane around the mediolateral axis.
