Balance and Stretching

Around the Clock Lunges

Stand with legs hip-width apart, hands on your hips. Lunge forward into the 12:00 oclock poition with your right leg. Return to standing. Now, pretend that you're the little hand on a clock, lunging forward at an angle to 1:30, sideways to 3:00, and backwards to 4:30 and 6:00. Repeat with your left leg, moving in the opposite direction from 12:00, 10:30, 9:00, 7:30 and 6:00. You can increase the intensity by adding shoulder presses (with 5 pound dumbbells) to each lunge.
