Part 4 of my series of exercise tips is the lunge. You can also view the bench press, seated row and squat from previous instalments. Lunges have long been part of a staple leg strengthening program. They pre-date gyms and are an excellent exercise for strengthening, balance and athletic development. This week I provide my expert tips and guidance to performing the lunge safely and for maximum benefit.

It was about 30mins before the start of the NRL Grand Final between the Rabbitohs and the Bulldogs and one of my clients, Matt and I were lucky enough to be able to catch up before kick-off to have a drink. It was a great day and whilst we were both enjoying the day with separate parties it was great to catch up outside of the gym for a change. We went our separate ways before the game and there was no way to foresee how the night would turn out (for the two teams fighting out the Grand Final and for Matt). Unfortunately, Matt suffered a fracture to his foot whilst running for the train after the game. As it turns out, Sam Burgess wasn’t the only person to have a fracture that night and unfortunately there was no “Glory, glory” for Matt. He was about as shattered as the thousands of bulldogs supporters leaving the ground….. and he isn’t a bulldogs supporter. Matt was disappointed when he called me the next day to deliver the news: “It’s fooked” he said, quoting big Sam. We then set about a plan to keep Matt’s fitness up for the next 6 weeks whilst his foot was in a moonboot (see picture).
