Next up on our common exercise errors highlight is everyone’s favorite: Lunges! This exercise is great for quad and hip strengthening and can be turned into a cardio exercise depending on pace! You will commonly see these in bootcamps and many exercise classes but also here at Peak for different rehab purposes. Common errors we typically see with this:... Collapsing at the knee or foot Knee coming too far forward of toe Arching through the back Cues: Think about keeping your knees lined up with your 2nd toe but keep your knee behind your toes Squeeze through your glutes and engage core to help with alignment Keep your foot arch up and don’t let it collapse - hold a tripod with your front foot Keep equal weight on your front and back foot #lunges #exercise #commonexerciseerrors #peak #physicaltherapy
