Exercise Instructions:
Perform this exercise without weight and place your hands on your hips for balance, alternatively place a barbell across your upper back/shoulder area and grasp either side with your hands OR hold dumbbells to either side of your body.
Step forward with one foot and lower your back knee almost to the ground, while flexing (bending) the front knee, forming 90 degree angles to the floor with both knees.
Drive up through your front heel and bring your back leg up until it is in line with the front leg and push up into a calf raise. Briefly pause and then continue to move forward and a step forward into another lunge. Keep your torso upright throughout the movement.
Continue lunging forward with alternating legs, performing a calf raise in between each movement for desired number of repetitions (noting that if your program states 10 repetitions; that is 10 repetitions on each leg, for a total of 20 lunges).
