Fitness Tip Tuesday

 Alternating Lateral Lunge

Exercises for Women

Alternating Lateral Lunge – Great exercise for working the inner thigh ladies!

Burns: 60 Calories in 15 minutes
How To: Stand with feet shoulder width apart and arms to sides. Step to side, dropping your knee to a 90 degree angle and other leg straight out. Press into your heel to bring yourself back to start position. Repeat with other leg.
Muscles Used: Core, Quads, Hamstrings & Glutes 

NOTE:
This exercise is not intended for single workout use. The calories burned is used to show the difference between each exercise. When you look at the Squat for example, it burns so many more calories than the bicep curl. I want you ladies to see why I do pair certain exercises together.
This way, you ladies will be able to look at the exercise library (soon to come) and say, ” ok, I want to burn a lot of calories this week. I am going to put this exercise in this week (squat) and this one (lunge) and I’ll add a less calorie burning one (bicep curl) so I don’t get too tired….”  You will be able to create your own workouts and have a strategic look at what you want to include in your circuits.
