Kick Butt Lunges

[spottyd]

Cathe-
I have been working my way through the Timesaver DVD (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE so far!), and just got to the part where you do "kick butt lunges." My question is this - there is NO way I can keep up with you speed-wise or depth-of-lunge-wise; should I just try to do every other lunge?

Thanks so much for the incredible workouts you have developed - you make every workout an enjoyable challenge!!!!!

Hi Courtney! Glad you are having fun with your workouts. Yes, do lunges at your own pace at a depth that works for you. Take Care!

Oh, Joannafit - you could probably turn your regular lunges into "kick butt lunges" if you were REALLY sinister!!!!
All you do is lunge down, and instead of bringing your lunging leg back alongside your other leg at the end, you use your lunging leg to "kick" yourself in the bum - so, you only put that lunging leg DOWN when you lunge forward; then you push right back up and kick yourself in the bum with that leg! Cathe does them so LOW, and so FAST - it's amazing!!!!!
Good luck!!!
