Cable reverse lunge with overhead press

This exercise focuses on increasing the connection between the right and left side of the body as the core and hips work to stabilize the opposing movements of arms and legs.
Stand on a single leg gripped through the toes and heels, and raise the opposite knee up to 90-degrees. Hold a cable in the same hand as the raised knee.
-
Inhale and press the raised knee back, stepping into a backward lunge, while pressing the cable straight overhead. Feel your core work to stabilize as you pull yourself into a lunge with your shoulders stacked squarely on top of your hips.
-
Exhale and press back up to the standing position, feel the hip flexors connect into the abdomen, and the obliques work to stabilize as you maintain your shoulders squarely on top of your hips.
-
As the arm presses overhead the entire posterior chain must fire to work to hold the cable directly over the hips.
-
Inhale and exhale through the nose only for a deeper connection.
