Movement Preparation: Knee Hug and Lunge
• This is a variation of a walking lunge, performed on both sides
• Lift up one knee, grasp with both hands, and pull to chest
• Then take a big step with the same leg and descend into a lunge
• Ensure the knee is over the toes and the trunk remains vertical
• Ensure trailing knee does not touch the ground in lunge position
• Stand up, take a couple of normal steps, and repeat with opposite leg
• Aim for lunges of equal depth and length, right and left sides
MODIFICATION:
1. If too complex, separate the activity into two activities at first.
2. Once athletes are comfortable with both movements, combine into single activity.
