Lunge Athletes must master moving through a full range of motion on a single leg to cope with the intense and diverse deceleration demands of sport. Good strength and control on a single leg frees the upper body to perform complex and precise sports skills. We often see upper body postures fail under intense lower body impact loads which makes expert technique crumble under physical pressure. The Lunge Progression challenges athletes from every direction in a range of tasks prioritising upper body posture throughout.
The Corrective Theme is the initial phase of a 4-part movement hierarchy. This Theme contains exercises which promote good movement quality first. Here we expose range of motion deficits & poor coordination that will derail progression & transfer of training. Exercises in the Corrective Theme stimulate reflexive stabilisation in optimal postures at priority joints with dynamic control that will scale to support more complex exercise variations.
