Stork to Reverse Lunge to Curl/Press

Stork to Reverse Lunge with Curl and Press

This is one of those big bang exercises that I love! It challenges your balance and stability while working your lower and upper body in one big exercise.


The Set Up:

Holding a 5-10lb DB in your left hand. Stand tall with feet shoulder width apart. Draw your navel in toward your spine.

The Movement:

Stand only on your right leg with a soft knee. keep your upper body long, hinge forward from your hips while raising your left leg straight back behind you until your upper body and left leg become parallel to the floor, hips remaining parallel to the floor as well and dumbbell is hanging straight down. As you begin to stand slowly and controlled drop your left foot back into a lunge and perform a bicep curl to shoulder press with the dumbbell.

Do 8-10 reps then switch sides. 2 Sets

HINT: Squeeze your glute on the left side to get your leg up higher behind you. Maintain good posture by keeping your navel drawn in and squeezing your shoulder blades together. Maintain a long upper body.

This is an advanced exercise. Practice by doing stork alone first with no dumbbell and arms held straight out from your shoulders.

Superset this exercise with a chest press.
