How to Build Healthy Ankles, Knees and Hips with Lunges

In this video, Tim demonstrates how to perform 1/4 lunges around the clock in order to expose the body to different vectors in order to make the ankles, knees, and hips resilient. As a bonus, Tim also throws in another amazing movement for free!

And now you’ve got me smiling! It’s contagious! Thank you so much.

Great joint strengthening for contact sports like football and hockey !!!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Yes!

[@farstrider79]

Good stuff as usual!

So glad it’s useful!

Once again - thank you!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Hope it was useful!

[@tc-3]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem It sure was. Especially the variation in which you bring the leg backwards. I'm used to doing reverse lunges, so shifting the weight onto the other leg really makes for an interesting feeling.

Welcome!

This looks great, thanks.

Hey Robin, I noticed that you follow Dan John and Tim. Are there any other gems in the fitness industry you could recommend? Since your taste is obviously excellent...

[@robindavis7023]

@@niklasbertrams1070 Thanks, Mr. John and Mr. Anderson are my staples. My programs are based on these two legends. I would recommend Mr. Grey Cook of FMS. He is an incredible instructor.

[@niklasbertrams1070]

​@Robin Davis Fantastic. I agree about these two. But you are awesome, as well. Thanks for answering!!

Love this because it’s so hard for me to do full lunges with bunions

[@alexandergraf7483]

Funny variation: combing it with cross walk; in each position of the clock do 1-2 contra-lateral hand touch to the leg in progress, What do you think? For me it felt GREAT!!! And adding some head nods or ratation just WOW you, too!!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I think that’s a great variation!

[@Amanyit]

Great video! Would you say this should be done before or after a leg strength workout ? And would this be done daily ?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It could be done in an all of the above way, but it need not be. It all depends. If you just want to move well and keep moving well, it could be a daily or multiple times a week practice. IF on the other hand you played court or field sports it would make a great movement prep before you take the field or court. It would also be a great leg day training movement prep as well. Hope this helps!

[@josepinchero]

hey Tim, i tried doing the drawing circles you show at minute 5:20 in the line at Safeway and everyone else in line looked at me funny. Is there a way to do this while in line w/out having everyone give me strange looks?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Ha! I’m afraid not my friend. Enjoy those looks!
