Movement Skills: Lunge with rotation

Lunge is one of the most fundamental movement patterns. The rotation increases the level of difficulty in terms of balance and coordination. Without an ability to perform a solid lunge, developing the lower body strength and basic patterns such as running is severely compromised.

Progression:

1. Forward lunge - no rotation

2. Forward lunge with rotation

3. Posterior lunge - no rotation

4. Posterior lunge with rotation

Movement pattern training: Arm swings with lower body movement
