Fitness tip: Reverse lunge with twist and leg lift-

[Music] Hi everybody, it's Shasha with Action News's fitness tip. I'm at the AV Apartments in King of Pressia. Weights up. Let's get to work on those legs. It's time. Now listen, I'm just for reference, I'm just using 5 lbs. However, if I was going to do this for real, like on my own, I would definitely use a heavier weight. So, you can decide what weight works for you, right? One thing to really keep in mind is if you're compromising form, if you're not able to keep your balance, if you're not able to get your knee really low into our reverse lunge, you're just going too heavy. And that's you're going to have to lighten the weight, right? Form over everything. Remember that. Okay. So, there's my little PSA. Let's get to work. I'm going to hold the weights here. Okay. Taking that right leg back. We're going to go into a reverse lunge where we're dropping that right knee down into that angle. From here, our abs are in and we're going to twist towards that front leg. Then we're going to come up and lift that knee, engaging our core, coming right back into a reverse lunge. Twisting center and lift. Right now, this is done slowly on purpose because I want you to really focus on twisting. And when you twist, right, you're not just twisting the weights. You're twisting your torso, right? So, watch this. When we're here, look at my shoulders. I twist center and come up. Now, you okay? We're okay. We're fine. It's actually really effective. I love this. Okay, we're working with it. You want to take it up a notch? Come on. Of course you do. Of course you do. Well, here. I got something for you. We're going to add a press. You ready? Let's go. Let's take the reverse lunge. So, we're going to lunge just like we did before. Twist. Now, watch this. Press and lunge again. Twist. Abs in. Press. Oh, yeah. Now we're full body. Now we're full body. I'm sweating. I'm sweating. This is great. I got to use this in one of my classes. Push. I liked it. What we do on the left, we do on the right. How many do we do? Well, I would start with at least 12, right? If you get to eight and you're gassed, then stop at eight. Right? You want to be challenged, but you don't want to overtrain. You don't want to do too many to where you're compromising form. That's how it goes. So, you do what you can. You challenge yourself. You keep your body strong. And listen, strength training is essential as we get older, especially for so many of my clients are going through pmenopause menopause, right? We need weights and it doesn't have to be heavy weights. So, get your body stronger, keep it moving, and try this one today.
