Elevated Lunges in Cathe's STS Single Body Part Leg Workout

[forum_admin]

Pictured here Cathe and Jenn are doing elevated lunges in the Single Body Part Leg workout. Elevated Lunges strengthen the quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. Also, as a single-leg exercise, your core is forced to work in overdrive to maintain your balance.

I have a Love-Hate relationship with this exercise, but they are ok if I don’t elevate too high

Those look wicked. And she’s using a 25. Please no pulses, one and a half’s or anything to make it any more brutal than it already looks!!!!!!

But that’s like telling us not to breathe! You KNOW they’ll be pulses….hopefully
no low ends, though!!

I find elevated lunges difficult. They really show up my imbalances and my tight hip flexors. When my right leg is back, I wobble all over the place but I'm OK when my left leg is back. I can only go to 2 risers, and I use lighter weights.

I love this exercise... forces me to work on balance & core stabilization as well as correct for muscle imbalances in the legs ... " get in there & get it good" ....

Exactly Hazlady….that is exactly my problem…I use 1 or 2 risers too, and still wobble

Sometimes widening your stance slightly btwn your legs helps with balance. Also make sure your elevated leg isn't too far away from the elevation. Ideally your elevated shin is practically skimming that box/step.

My legs love this one … my lower back does NOT. I actually consulted a trainer about this. She checked my form (good) and my lifting weight (also good, about 20lbs). We discovered I have a hip imbalance. So I have to modify this exercise (or my back will scream) and work on evening out my hips.

This exercise never gets easy and usually gets the heart rate up there with the pulses and nasty low ends Lol! But I still love it!
