LEGS – Lunges

Lunges enhance stability around the ankle, hip and knee joints, and help to ensure you develop much better balance before jumping on a board for the first time.

1. As you step into the lunge from a standing position make sure to step far enough that when you bend your knees they are both at 90 degrees at the lowest point. As you drop aim to tap your knee on the ground and keep your back straight, try to keep your feet in one line to work on balance further.

2. It is important that you do not bring your front knee too far forwards by ensuring that it does not pass over your heel.
