Back Lunge
Spring Load:
- 1 white spring (standard)
- 2 white springs (challenging)
(The below is if the target leg was the LEFT leg)
Back Lunge Setup:
- Starting by standing on the left side of the Xformer at the back facing the back, turn the black handlebar in front of you up and to the left
- Move forward until your toes are right in front of the turned out handlebar
- Turn to your right, and with your right hand, pull the carriage in tucking your toes in back of the front carriage strap
- Lower yourself down into a lunge holding the carriage by the front carriage strap with your right toes (setting your fingers on the handlebars if you need support)
- Make sure your left knee is directly about the left ankle
Back Lunge Execution:
- Exhale through your lips as you begin to press your heel down into the floor to come up 95% so that you do not lock out your knees
- Breathe in through your nose as you lower into the starting lunge position
Important Notes:
- Sit down and back when lunging downwards to keep the knees stacked over your ankle
