How To Do a Pendulum Lunge - Video Tutorial

Next up on our video series is the Pendulum Lunge! It sounds fun, right? Well, it is! Add this to your arsenal of booty-shaping moves you can do in or out of the gym and your backside won't know what hit it!

Here's the video tutorial:

Key Things to Remember:

 - Keep your Chest Up

 - During the lunge on both sides (front and back), you want your front knee directly over your toe.

 - Be sure to step out wide enough on the back lunge so you get a proper lunge.

 - For some added strength training, hold your "kicking" leg up for a few seconds and squeeze your quadriceps muscle!

Have fun!

How to Do a Reverse Lunge - Video Tutorial

The reverse lunge is a "must" for you to include in your workout routine for your next leg day. It challenges not only your leg and glutes muscles, but also your core strength. Doing lunges going forward is hard enough - try going backwards! If you are participating in our newest challenge, you can't miss this video - it's definitely an exercise included in the She Sweats Workout Plans!

Want to challenge yourself? Here are a few ways to up the intensity on these lunges:

1. Add weight - dumbbells and kettlebells work great!

2. Add a pulse - come up and down a few more times once you are in your lunge to really challenge your muscles.

3. Add a shoulder press - work your shoulders by adding bands or dumbbells while also increasing your core strength and balance. Be sure to do the "press up" as you bend down into your lunge.
