Move It Monday!

Well here we are again, we've arrived at another glorious Monday! I'm so happy that the weather co-operated. Even though it looks like it's raining all around me, rest assured I'm not that hardcore, in reality, it's just the camera on a weird setting and it was freezing out so we're making do:)
Today's exercise for Move It Monday is a total body demolisher! It will hit your thighs, butt, abs, shoulder, and back.  I introduce to you.... The Bond Lunge (stationary)

Start with your feet in a wide stance and raise your arms up so that they are parallel with the ground. I have weights but I thought it would be great to show that even without hand weights you can do this effectively. 5-10 lbs is about perfect.


With your back heel lifted, lower into a lunge position and at the same time rotate your torso to the opposite side. Do not let your knee go over your toes, if this is happening move your stance wider.


Return to start position. Complete 10-15 reps before switching legs.

Repeat on opposite side. Ideally you want your front thigh to be parallel to the ground as in this picture. If this is to difficult then start by going half-way down and building up from there!

Have a fantastic day and make sure to Move your body!
