I have never met, nor am I ever likely to meet royalty.
However, when I saw an exercise moving from a squat into a curtsy lunge, I was intrigued.
And with no royalty in sight, so began my latest challenge.
What are squats with curtsy lunges?
Of course, youre getting some cardio work, too.
Adding thecurtsy lungeincreases the cardio element and improves your range of motion, also engaging the inner thighs.
As such, the move deserves your attention.
This is such a move.
But this one was, frankly, the most fun.
The chief reason is that it added more movement; it felt active.
I did 30 on the first day and had to work hard for the final five.
By the end, I was breathing hard.
On day seven, I did 50.
The stretch is a bonus; its not the point of the move.
By the time I left the house, I was warmed up and ready to go.
Its tempting to rise into a semi-standing position, perform a half-squat, and then move into another lunge.
Remember: squat, stand, lunge, stand and so on.
After a while, the move will feel smooth.
