Are You Lunging WRONG? 3 Tips To FIX Your Lunge The lunge, in all its many forms, is so often blamed for knee pain. But moves are only as good as their implementation. And we need to understand there is a difference between going through the motions and mimicking proper form and actually getting the correct muscles working. Too often we end up demonizing this amazing move instead of learning to properly control it and load muscles correctly. And that overload is what leads to the pain. Not engaging the correct muscles to power the movement can prevent us from seeing the full benefit of all the amazing lunge variations out there. We don-t take time to see all of the tweaks to form we can make to work around previous injuries, adjust to our specific builds and mobility restrictions not to mention even us variations based on our specific needs and goals. That-s why I want to share 3 key form cues I use to help client-s get more out of this amazing move while avoiding those common mistakes we often make that lead to aches and pains. Because we have to remember that form isn-t as binary as we make it out to be. There are so many slight adjustments we can make to get more out of exercises so they fit our needs and goals!

Thanks for this post, Cori. I have an old knee injury that was never repaired, so proper form is a struggle for me. This may be an odd thing to ask. but. what shoe are you wearing in this video? The right footwear is also important. I know you can't endorse products, but I am curious about the style/model. From the logo, I'm guessing Asics, which fit me well, but I don't find anything that looks similar.

My ankles pronate pretty badly and I notice that instead of my back heel pointing up to the ceiling, it tips inward because my ankle collapses. Any suggestions? I was wondering if I should just rest the top of my back foot on a bench or BOSU instead of trying to put the ball of the foot on the floor.

Solid video. ONe thing I didn't see was commentary on torso alignment. I find myself fighting NOT to lean my body forward. I'm as flexible as a marble slab so doing lunges and others lower body movements sees me trying to not lean forward. Your torso was very vertical.

I totally love you. I would love having a trainer like you to shape me correctly and keep me focused. Either way thank you for making such amazing videos and helping with not just the macro side of things but even these micro elements to consider! You rock!

Cori rocks - great presentation and content. Speaks the truth and demonstrates the before and after of form correction. She's helped me by identifying better ways to engage my back - unilateral exercise. Works and continues to work. She's the best!

Ah, the dreaded lunge! I tried fencing for a short while and lunges scared the heck out of me. Done properly, as you describe, lunges are great but in the heat of the moment I was sure that I'd attack sideways instead of forward and blow out my knee.

Thank you for the video, you are awesome in every way. So when I do lunges I actually get pain in my big toe from the back leg do you have any recommendations on how to not hyper flex that big toe in the back. Thank you very much. Happy holidays.

Question from someone with no balance at all and very overweight. I struggle so hard to get down it up into even the same place lunges. Suggestions on how to start this with other adaptations so I can work toward these?

Your videos are amazing. I have been to physics, specialists etc who try to diagnose my problems. Then I discovered Redefining strength and am fixing them myself. Do you do PT?
