Lunge Twist
Starting Posture
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward. Engage your core muscles and keep your shoulders relaxed.
How to Exercise
Step your right foot forward into a lunge position, making sure that your knee is directly over your ankle and your thigh is parallel to the floor. Place your hands together in front of your chest, with your elbows bent. Twist your torso to the right, bringing your left elbow to the outside of your right knee. Hold for a few breaths, then return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side.
Breath Control
Inhale as you step into the lunge position, and exhale as you twist your torso.
Common errors
A common mistake is to let your front knee extend past your toes in the lunge position. Make sure to keep your knee aligned with your ankle to prevent strain on your knee joint.
