Get off to a great start with this lunge. “This helps with upper body stability and light core activation. It’s a good way to get someone warmed up quickly,” says Dan McDonogh, a TRX personal training specialist based in San Francisco. HOW TO DO IT: Stand facing away from the anchor, extend your arms at shoulder level with palms down. Take a long step forward and open your arms to a “T” position. Drive back up by pushing through front heel and pressing into the handles. TIP: Keep light tension on the straps, by applying equal pressure. “To prevent lower back damage, make sure that your abs are engaged,” says Pete Holman, CSCS. STRAP ADJUSTMENT: Mid-length.
