This is Day 2 of my START / BUILD / CHALLENGE series.
Same movement.
Three different options.
And again, there’s no prize for jumping straight to Challenge.
START
Use some support.
I’m using a foam roller, but you could hold onto a chair, bench or anything sturdy.
Keep the movement small.
You don’t need to go anywhere near the floor.
Think tall, controlled and smooth.
BUILD
Now take the support away and give yourself a little more range.
Step back and down.
Still no extra weight.
Just your bodyweight and good control.
CHALLENGE
Now add some load and another moving part.
Hold the dumbbells, step back into the same lunge and add the uppercut.
The lunge itself doesn’t suddenly change.
Same smooth movement. Same control.
You’ve just given yourself a little more to deal with.
START. BUILD. CHALLENGE.
They’re not levels you have to pass.
They’re options.
Do the one you can do well today.
There’s no prize for jumping straight to Challenge.
Which one are you today?
