Fitness: FRF Exercise video lunge with overhead reach

​This is a great movement to stretch the hips and shoulders. It will improve hip and shoulder mobility and is a great movement to use for active warm-ups. Muscle groups involved:  Hips, core and shoulders. Start in a lunge position with one leg forward with the foot flat on the floor and the opposite knee down. Brace the core muscles and squeeze the glutes as you push the hips forward (slightly) and raise your arms overhead. Reach as high as you can and then hold that position for 2-3 seconds. Return your arms to the starting position and then switch legs to repeat with the other leg forward. Make sure the head and shoulders stay straight and be sure to not force the movement, keep your abs braced and do not overarch your lower back. Rep recommendations may change based on the FRF workout you are performing and your level of fitness.
