Does anyone have any modification suggestions for the explosive lunges in the standing leg work section??.. I am unable to do those at the moment lol.

Cassie..I'd suggest to take out the explosiveness! Just do regular lunges without weight for these...

Cassie-

I agree with Carole. How about doing them nice and slowly, like in Gym Style Legs....4 slow count down, hold for 4 count, pulse up and down like low ends for count of 4, hold for 4 count, then 4 slow count back up. Those kill me each and every time!

When I modify, I usually first look at what elements comprise the move--- here there are lunges, explosiveness, and changing which foot is in front--- and focus on one or two of them that I can do. So for explosive lunges, I either do the plyo jumps, but don't switch foot positions (so do a certain number with right foot forward, and the same number with left foot forward, stepping into the change), or I do the 'lunge and foot change' combo, but take out the plyo aspect, just stepping into position. Or you could just do lunge in place, changing the front foot 1/2-way through.

If even lunges are tough, try them while holding onto the back of a chair, or use a body bar or a dowel for help with balance.
