Equipment
The overhead lunge is a full-body exercise that primarily strengthens the legs and shoulders. It improves balance, coordination, and core stability, while also engaging the upper body as the arms hold weight above the head.
How to do it
- Stand upright holding a PVC Pipe overhead with arms fully extended.
- Step forward with one leg into a lunge position, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90 degrees.
- Keep the back straight and core engaged while maintaining the overhead position.
- Press through the front heel to return to the starting position.
- Repeat the movement with the opposite leg.
