Take Your Lunges to the Next Level
June 20, 2011 at 1:17 pm By Karla Walsh  Last week, I was lucky enough to join in a group training session with star trainer Brett Hoebel, who helped contestants on last season’s Biggest Loser ranch drop hundreds of pounds. And let me tell you, he knows how to make a person sweat! At the end of the heart-pumping workout that included plenty of squats, jumping jacks, punches
and kicks, Hoebel led us through a quick circuit that he promised would
help shed pounds if you stick with it. The entire routine was
effective, but I had a “light bulb moment” during the lunge section. Lunges are normally one of my favorite exercises because they
challenge the large muscle groups (in other words, they burn plenty of
calories and increase your heart rate!) while strengthening your lower
body. So I was pumped when Brett taught the class a few tricks to kick
my go-to move up a bit. Try them today:
Make any of these variations harder: Hold one dumbbell in each hand. Do the level that suits you for 30 seconds, take a 30 second break, and repeat three more times. |
