Exercise EW26: Lunges

Exercise for advances users

Goal: Improve strength and power of thigh

Accessories: Stepper (about same height as Galileo device),

Parameters: Frequency: 25-30 Hz / Position: 1-2.5 / Duration: 1-2 minutes per leg

Procedure:
Posture: Upper body upright, one foot flat on the Galileo plate, one foot in-front of the Galileo (on your forefoot)
Movement: Very slowly flex your legs and move the backwards leg as low as possible (without touching the ground) then slowly back to the starting position. Always stay in an active position (backwards knee never touches the ground, none of the legs is straight).

Repetitions: Repeat exercise 2-3 times with a pause of 1-3 minutes in-between.

Variation: The exercise can also be performed without the stepper.

Tip 1: If needed for balance, you can touch the handrail with your fingertips (but don’t use the handle-bare to pull upwards)

Tip 2: This exercise not only strengthens but also improves dynamic balance
