Muscles involved: hip and knee extensors, hip abductors
Form: stand with feet shoulder width apart, holding DB, MB, or body bar if you want. Brace core, and inhaling, take lead leg behind you and drop into a lunge position, keeping front leg knee behind the toes, and not allowing the rear leg knee to hit the floor. Drive your weight through the front heel, exhale and return to start; switch legs or do all on one side before switching.

Cautions: Keep the spine aligned properly, no spinal flexion or arching. Keep knee from extending over toes.

Trainer techniques: Cue breathing, braced core, contractions in gluteals and quads, watch for proper position of the spine and pelvis, and observe the motion at the hip, knee and ankles. Spot with your hands under the rib cage

10 years ago I underwent a major surgery, which resulted in an unrelated frozen shoulder. Despite much time and effort with other professionals, I concluded that a slightly improved shoulder was the best I could hope for.
9 1/2 years later, I met Deb, who, in our first meeting, addressed my tight, poorly functioning shoulder. After a thorough assessment, after 5 minutes of MAT adjustments (Muscle Activation Techniques), my shoulder was freed up (after 9 1/2 years of problems). During subsequent appointments, we repeated those tiny adjustments. My shoulders are equally free-moving now, thanks to Deb." M.C.

"Dedication and completely customized programs make Deb a great Personal Trainer. She's inspired me with her training to achieve better posture, muscle tone, and a desire to stay with the program to enjoy better health for now and the future."-Sheila B.
