Plie Lunge - how to do
Technique Tip of the Month
Plié Lunge
Start in a standing position with your feet together.
Step forward with one foot. Avoid putting your front foot directly inline with your back foot. Your front foot should be flat on the floor and your back heel should be lifted off of the floor. Center your weight between your front foot and the ball of your back foot.
Bend your knees to lower your hips toward the floor. Your back knee should be directly under your hip as you lower.
Stop lowering toward the floor when your front knee is 90 degrees and your front thigh is parallel to the floor. Tune into how you are feeling. If you have to stop before your front knee is 90 degrees, that’s ok.
Press your front heel and the ball of your back foot into the floor as you straighten your knees and contract your quadriceps (front of the legs) and gluteal muscles (in your buttocks).
Return to the starting upright position with your legs fully extended.
Keep your torso upright throughout and avoid rounding through your back and shoulders.
Hand held weights may or may not be used during this exercise.
Reverse and step forward with your opposite leg.
