Move It Monday!

It's snowing! It's snowing! Okay so it probably won't stick but I LOVE the snow. It brings such a sense on serenity to the day, and seeing as it's so rare around here, you have to enjoy it while it lasts. I hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready to learn a fabulous exercise using our trusty chairs! Today's exercise is a multi-joint lower leg and cardio attack. For those of you who find the chair to challenging, you can substitute a stair or stool. So here we go....

Step up, High Knee, and Lunge Combo!

Take a step up with your right leg
 When you get to the top, drive your left knee up like pictured
 Step back down onto your left leg and immediately swing your right leg down into a reverse lunge
 This is your finish position. It will take a few times to get the rhythm but once you do you'll be flying:)
 From the lunge position swing that right leg back into a step up. Repeat this sequence 15 times on the Right leg and then repeat 15 times on the left.

Clear as mud? 

Son now, get your running shoes on, do the move of the day, have a quick stretch, relax with a cup of tea and watch the snow fall before it's too late:)
