Recently I have began to incorporate the Valslide into my workouts. All this simple piece of equipment is is a flat piece of plastic that will slide on the carpet with a foam top surface. (Basically a furniture mover.) There are numerous exercises you can use this with, but for today I going to tell you about the Slider Lateral Lunge.
To do the Slider Lateral Lunge you place one slider under your foot and keep your other foot in contact with the ground. Take the foot with the slider under it and slowly slide that leg out to the side while bending the knee of the leg that does not have a slider under it. Keep your weight over the leg without the slider and come down to a parallel squat position. Then push back up with the leg without the slider and slide the leg with the slider back in. Repeat for 10-20 reps on each leg.
This exercise is great for working on balance, muscle cooridination, and also helps you to develop the necessary strength to do a 1 legged squat.
Try it out and let me know what you think.
Have a Great Day!
Josh
