Lunging - Pelvis Position
None
- 00:00
- I think the single most common problem with a lunge is
- 00:03
- that followers are typically,
- 00:04
- or let's show you from the single followers are typically in
- 00:06
- this, uh, in this position.
- 00:08
- And you say, well, or even this position, you say,
- 00:10
- well, what's wrong with that?
- 00:12
- And the problem is that I'm pinching my low back right here.
- 00:15
- And so I want you to watch then that the transition
- 00:22
- in the pelvis, and if we zoom in,
- 00:28
- instead of stepping into a lunge
- 00:30
- and being here, which once again, pinches the low back.
- 00:33
- You say, can we be there?
- 00:42
- And the key point is that I've turned my hips
- 00:45
- and tilted them under are my pelvis, right?
- 00:48
- So instead of being, I'm gonna exaggerate, instead
- 00:50
- of being here where you see
- 00:52
- that there's this huge arch in my back,
- 00:57
- there's the shift in the pelvis that turnout in the hip
- 01:00
- and the opening of the standing leg that lets my pelvis be
- 01:03
- underneath and my back be protected.
- 01:06
- And this is true in almost every lunch position.
- 01:09
- And, and similarly, when you see women get out of lunges,
- 01:11
- and guys too, actually, they'll often also, they'll be, uh,
- 01:15
- arched and they'll be hinged into their thighs.
- 01:18
- So then when they get out, it's this quad working
- 01:22
- rather than
- 01:25
- the glute working.
- 01:29
- So I want you to focus that
- 01:30
- as you're going into the lunge at the beginning.
- 01:33
- It comes from underneath.
- 01:36
- And that as you come outta that lunge, it still comes from
- 01:39
- underneath.
