The angle of your torso in relationship to your lower body determines which muscle groups you’ll be putting more emphasis in.

This will keep your hip open, lengthening the hip flexors and contracting them to stabilize yourself in the lowering phase.

Honestly...this is probably the most straight forward example of how and where each exercise affects

[JW]

Omg straight to the point, thank you so much

[kimalegraham]

Yo this was surprisingly helpful. Leaning the torso forward will focus on hamstrings.

[Jollysultana-jl]

Thanks for clarifying the mechanics behind lunges. It's fascinating how small adjustments can make a big difference.

[lauredallagnol]

This is called being simple and efficient 😆 good cue for variation though

[NataliafigetstoysNataliafi-zt]

I never realized how much the torso angle impacts the muscle groups used. Great breakdown.

[katom]

Y’all are amazingly. Efficient and generous with your training tips and guidance. Thank you.

[kpjmolly]

I like how u put the image on the top makes it way more easier

[punintended]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Grazie!! 😁

[P-CRUZ]

Wish you guys had more glute/leg/lower body focused workouts. That'd be great.

[calisthenicsmadness]

Each clip is very intriguing and informative 👍 👌

[Illuminatti]

u can see the front and the back muscle of the leg, amazing!

[godismysalvation]

One of the best videos ❤❤❤very helpful and on spot 🤗🤗🤗🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

[whoiamagain]

Big help bro now I can add another glutes and hamstring exercise in my work

[jtorres]

Can you guys do a lunge or shrimp squat tutorial? I'm trying to get bigger legs.😀

[MrWikimat]

Muchas gracias por estas magníficas clases, y además gratuitas por parte de un verdadero experto. 👍

[dailyvocab]

Which leg to really emphasize on while doing lunges ?
Informative video btw 🙏👍👍

[mzancs]

Muito obrigado pelas informações, vou testar essas variações!

[giangtrinhtruong]

This appears at the right moment I desperately finding a way to feel hammies after 2 months of fixing anterior pelvic tilt. Dunno why but in bridge and nordic curl I could only feel glutes and not hams
