NSV: I managed to do a lunge perfectly!

  • I feel like this is a ridiculous and basic thing to be able to do lunges properly but it was a big victory for me!

    I've never been able to do dynamic lunges (I'm very weak and I didn't know how to get in the proper posture) but I've been going to a resistance training class at my gym and today I managed to do the whole set of dynamic lunges in proper form!

    I'm super excited for myself being able to do the exercises properly actually makes them easier, I find. And I can definitely feel myself getting stronger!
  • Well done you. There is a big difference between doing an exercise and doing it properly! It's a brilliant feeling when you realise you are getting stronger, we really don't use our bodies enough
  • Yay!
  • lunges are HARD!!! I couldn't even BEGIN to do them when I started and it took longer than any other exercise/movement to do, so I totalllllly get your excitement! Yay you!!!
  • As someone who is still bedeviled by lunges, I would say this is a big deal

    Congrats!
  • great job! Be proud of the smaller things as well as the huge things. EVERY Victory counts!
  • What they said! They're hard, and it IS an accomplishment! Congrats!
  • Thanks guys! It's reassuring that other people find them difficult too. Everybody else around me in the class busts out sets carrying 20 kg no big deal o_O one day...
