Curtsey Lunge - Medball Slam
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Begin by standing with a medball in your hands. Perform a curtsey lunge by moving one leg behind and across the other leg bending the knee that is in front. At the end of the curtsey, push into the ground with the front leg and propel your other leg back to the side stepping out far while you slam the ball down. This should all be done in one, continuous, controlled motion.
- FEEL: You will feel the muscles of the leg you are lunging on and pushing off of work primarily here. Your core will work to slam the medball to the floor.
- COMPENSATION: Don’t rotate your body as you perform this, keep your body facing forward for the entire movement.
