Alternate Sprinter Lunge
A reverse lunge ending in a sprinter's start, chest over the front thigh and fingertips on the floor; legs alternate.
How to do it
Setup
Feet hip-width, arms loose at the sides, room behind you.
Steps
- Step back and hinge forward as you lower.
- Touch the fingertips to the floor by the front foot.
- Drive up on the front leg; switch legs.
Common mistakes
Rounding to reach the floor: hinge at the hips, back flat. Front heel lifting: weight into it before the reach. Rushing back up: stand fully before the next step.
Breathing
Inhale stepping back, exhale driving up.
