PROGRAMMING CONSIDERATIONS
#3 - BOSU® DYNAMIC LATERAL LUNGE
This isn’t your father’s lateral lunge! Using unstable surface training via the BOSU® Ball, this variation of the lateral lunge will not only challenge your mobility, but also your static stability in a single leg stance! Make sure to incorporate dynamic reciprocal arm motion into the lunge, squeezing every drop of functionality out of this exercise!
PROGRAMMING CONSIDERATIONS
#4 - 45° LATERAL BOUNDING FORWARD / BACKWARD
This old school track and field training staple takes on a new task for enhancing knee stability and function. By explosively taking off from a single leg stance in an oblique plane, muscles of the inner thigh and quadriceps, along with the entire posterior chain will become highly active. The landing portion of this movement is where the magic is made. Landing as soft as possible, and assuming a ½ squat position, you will maintain this iso-hold for a second before exploding through your next rep! Give yourself concentrated rest between sets for this one! Remember explosion is a highly neurological skill set that needs to be honed while your body is fresh!
Slow down, Bode Miller! honed while your body is fresh! Slow down, Bode Miller!
