Exercise for the week - Clock Lunges

This move is great for developing knee stability - it targets all the muscles around the knee, as well as, quads, hamstrings and glutes!

• Imagine you are standing in the center of a clock.
• Start off standing with both legs shoulder width apart, knee's soft (not locked) and lunge forward with your right leg to 12 o'clock, push off woth your right heel back to standing position.
• Repeat movement - working your way from 1 o'clock to 6 o'clock - switch legs and repeat.

Remember:

• Keep your back and neck tall and straight (do not lean forward or backwards)
• Prevent your knee from moving past your toes.
• You always want to maintain a 90 degree angle with your knee and leg!
• Knee and toe bend in the same direction!

Try this at home, without weights until you feel comfortable with the movement and then you can add a pair of dumbells for extra resistance.
