Perfect Form: lunges at the barre

Let’s take a closer look at the Lunge, because if “shakes = it’s working,” then this lower body shaker really works!

Just like every move at M.O.M.s Method, form is very important during lunge, so let’s talk about some tips to get you sculpting next time you’re at the Barre!

Begin by facing the wall with both hands placed lightly on the barre. Step forward with your right foot so you can see your toes underneath the barre. Then step back with your left leg. Now sink straight down with your left knee until both legs are in a 90 degree angle.

Your right knee should be directly over the supporting ankle and make sure that the knee is in line with the toes (not shifted right or left). Your left knee should drop down directly below your left hip and your left toes curled under. Pull your belly into the spine and let your tailbone drop down to create a neutral spine, staying tall in a straight line all the way from your head to your seat.

Now that you’re in perfect form, you’re ready for pulses, tucks, and releve! All of these variations make the burning and shaken well worth it! So enjoy lunges next time you are at the barre by using these tips for the perfect form!
