Lunge Challenge
What is the Lunge challenge?
o The Lunge Challenge is designed to improve all aspects of the lunge as well as to carry over into other movements or daily activities. Whether your gardening, about to field a baseball, or squatting for your next big personal record, lunging will aide in your goals to improve your locomotion for whatever activity you are performing. What the lunge accomplishes as a unilateral, single leg movement is to improve the stability of the knee, builds the glute muscles, as well as gain new strength in your single or double leg movements. You will perform a set of 30 lunges each day of the month of June (6/3-6/28). You can perform a lunge set for distance, stationary, or with assistance if needed. Depending on the performance of your lunge, you and your coach will discuss and come up with a prescription to improve your lunging mechanics. Weight can be added depending on the level of the athlete. Remember to listen to your coach and remain consistent with what you are given. You will improve if you stay consistent.
