USING PROPER
EXERCISE FORM
Now, I'm the LAST one to attempt giving out training tips. In absence of a contributing writer this month, I thought it would be helpful to post some information that would help those of us working our way back into an exercise and fitness routine. My only endorsement for the videos I'm posting is that I tried their recommendations myself. I can tell the difference between 'cheating' my way through a workout and using proper form to wake up and work the target muscle groups. Ouch! I will hand this section back over to trained professionals in the field next month. Hit up the blog and let me know what exercises you are working into your own routine. As a person that's two months into starting a regular exercise routine again, it would be good to have to folks to relate to and comiserate with. :)
Hit the blog and let me know!!

PROPER FORM FOR WALKING LUNGES
Tips from Personal Trainer Mike Behnken, MS, NASM-CPT-PES, CSCS
Lunges are the safest and most effective exercise for lower body. You can perform lunges with only body weight to get a tremendous leg workout. You can hold dumbbells, kettlebells, bags of rice, cans of soup or any form of resistance you have handy to increase the difficulty.
If you Lunge far forward enough to where your front
heel is directly under your knee you will keep your patellofemoral joint from being overstressed.
This correct form will also allow you to work your glutes and hamstrings along with your quads in an optimal muscle recruitment pattern.
