    Keep in mind, the Five stars are based on my needs for this item ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS When I first bought the bike I was going to return it immediately. After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.

    This was a brilliant explanation, best I've met in all my years of thinking squats were the bees knees! I shall be taking lunges seriously from now on. I was put off them years ago when I was doing 100 a side daily, leaning too far forward, and my quads became too big for a balanced leg.

      Brisk walking is great for losing weight! Easy on the joints and is a whole body workout.
      I make a Whey (not soy) protein shake with bananas before and after my brisk walks. I lost 12 pounds in a week. Protein is natures diet "pill" and bananas provide the proper amount of nutrients and carbs. Yes, carbs! Muscles need carbs for energy and protein for building (before) and repairing afterwards. So I make a protein banana smoothie! Sometimes I add strawberries. No sugar is necessary especially if you use very ripe bananas. That delicious shake is my reward! Use a free pedometer from your phone's app store.
      I wish for you to enjoy less pounds, a healthy heart, and a very nice body!

  • @raywright2401
    @raywright2401 4 роки тому +18

    Walking lunges are incredible for your core, knees, and overall strength, especially as you get older. I only do them on the beach in deep sand where the pressure is decreased on your knees and ankles but lateral balance in those areas is increased! Sand is inherently uneven, meaning it works all your ligaments/tendons but at decreased pressure so you can simulate real world circumstances without the damage of actual high level sport performance. You are not going to move in a forward lunge in such a linear way in the real world, so there's always a chance that you will have an injury from not being balanced when your body is suddenly called upon to perform after developing your muscles in this manner.

  • @DessicatedCadaver
    @DessicatedCadaver 3 роки тому

    I did not thumbs down this, but it’s an extremely flawed presentation. He talks and talks and talks and talks, but does very little - almost none - of actually SHOWING the desired movement… it’s shown briefly and buried under all that verbiage about how NOT to do it. It’s fine to explain things, even at great length, but it must ALWAYS be accompanied by SHOWING the correct movement in sufficient time and detail so it can be absorbed by the novice viewer. Sure, someone who already knows all this may not need this shown as clearly, but then he actually doesn’t need this video, as he’s already experienced; this is pitched at the beginner, and in that respect it’s a serious failure. Plus for all it’s talkathon, it’s in fact quite sloppy, as it doesn’t even label things correctly - split squats are not lunges, and because he fails to spend enough time actually demonstrating the movements, he can’t even name things correctly. Sorry, but he needs to do a WHOLE LOT better than this! I’d look elsewhere for a beginner lunge instruction. FAIL!!!

    I find the "walking" lunge easier than the stationary lunge. That's why I'll start doing stationary lunges instead from now on.

    My trainer started making me do 100x lunges per walking, I just can't. Bad shape, bad knee pain. Walking lunges are not for anyone, especially if you have long legs and inward knee.

    As many others have said, this tutorial is exceptionally clear and informative. But the name "stationary lunge" is an oxymoron, so it's rather confusing ("don't-move-lunge"). Maybe "pseudo lunge", as it's really a kneel done in lunge stance?

    Omg thank you!! I am a beginner and I have been doing walking lunges and wondering why my knee was starting to hurt so much. I’ll stick to beginner lunges for now. I had no idea!

    Should have watched this before I caused myself ITBS from lunges 🙃

    Question: starting on the floor, left leg in front, I can't get up without holding something. Once up I can go up and down ok, unless I go ALL the way down. (Stuck) What muscle is weak? Right leg in front, I can get up.

    Just to let everyone know this is actually called a SPLIT SQUAT, NOT a LUNGE.
