Walking Pull Back Butt Kicks – Exercise of the Week

The walking butt-kick pulls is a dynamic stretching exercise you can use before each of your workouts. Dynamic stretching is used to increase the range of movement, blood and oxygen flow to soft tissues prior to exertion and helps reduce the chances of injury.

This exercise is similar to the Butt Kicks exercise except that we are slowing the action down to a walk and adding in a further dynamic stretch.
First take a step and then raise your heel as close as possible to your butt.
Once your heel is as close as you can lift it by itself, grab your foot with one of your hands and pull the heel closer to your butt which will increase the stretch to your quadriceps (your thigh)
Pause briefly at the top of the stretch and then return the foot back towards the starting position whilst taking a step forward.
Repeat the action on your opposite leg, and alternate legs until you have walked 15-20m

Walking Lunges – Exercise of the Week

Walking Lunges are a terrific exercise for building leg strength, speed and agility. If you are looking for a basic strength exercise that gets health and fitness results, Walking Lunges are a great choice.

The purpose of the Walking Lunge is to stretch the glutes, hamstrings, hip flexors and calves.

This exercise is similar to the Overhead Forward Lunge exercise except that we are slowing the action down and walking forward to add in a further dynamic stretch component.

Step out with a long stride, striking the heel of your forward foot and extending onto the toes of your back foot.

Complete the cycle by bringing your trail leg through and standing upright.
