Fit Tip | Side Lunge with Twist

*To keep your knees from hurting when doing leg work keep a majority of your weight towards your heel, not your toes*

Side Lunge with Twist is great for After Baby ~ work on getting those buns back & strengthening your hips 🙂

**Always check with your Doctor before beginning any exercise program**

Focus: Abs/Core, Shoulders & Butt

• Start using light to no weights until you get the movement correct.
• Think “Ribs to Hips” & “Scoop your belly In & Up”
• Stick your butt out & think of “wrapping & lifting” under your butt.
• Keep a majority of your body weight towards your heel & not your toes.
• Keep your shoulder drawing down away from your ears

Modifications:

• Omit the arm movement until you get the leg movement down.
• Shorten your range of motion if you feel it in your knees or back
• If you feel it more in your back then abs – engage your abs more – or don’t twist

Always be sure you have the smaller range of motion/basic movements down before you progress on…. Sets: 1-3 Reps: 10-20 Weights: 0-5lbs What is your favorite butt exercise? ~E ]]>
