Advanced Lunges
June 9th, 2010
So, if you’ve mastered the basic lunge technique (as mentioned in an earlier blog .. read here) then it’s time to get a bit more serious.
The most obvious way to make lunges more challenging is to add weight. This can be in the form of dumbbells, a bar, kettlebells, a powerbag etc. It’s whatever you have available. Almost anything can be used as a weight providing that you balance both sides of your body equally.
If you’re comfortable with your basic repetitions with weights you can make the exercise more challenging by doing one complete set followed by a set where you go only half way down. If this is followed by a set where you start at the half way point and then lower fully and return only to the half way point then I guarantee a serious burn and muscle work out.
And, finally, for the serious performer who really wants to develop explosive power (especially important for many games players) there is the plyometric lunge.
The simpler version involves taking a lunge step and once your front knee flexes to 90° immediately drive upwards off the front knee and back to the starting position. Remember for this the starting position is stood up with your feet together and it is very important to maintain correct posture and good technique throughout.
The more advanced version involves starting in the full lunge position. When you’re comfortable in this position simply jump upwards and swap your leg positions before you land (i.e. your front leg becomes the rear leg and vice verse). The instant your feet touch down spring up again and repeat. It’s probably not advisable to do more than 20 repetitions as this is a strenuous exercise and is advised only for those with a degree of prior conditioning. It’s also important to note that a plyometric session should only be done once a week due to the high stresses that it places on joints.
Remember as always, have a thorough warm up and don’t make the mistake of thinking that warm summer weather means that this is less important.
Have fun.

Jules Williams Workshop Retreat
June 4th, 2010Intuitive councellor Jules Williams has been running spiritual retreats across the UK and US for over 10 years. But what can you expect from this unique and life changing experience? You will travel to the retreat set in the calm and tranquility of the British country side, in an area of converging lay lines and ancient rituals, steeped in spiritual energy.
Jules will then introduce you to his world-renowned methods of emotional clearing. He will work with your subconscious to uncover the deep-rooted blocks causing your repetitive negative behavior patterns and guide you on an intensive healing process to clear you of those blocks and encourage positive energy into your life.
His techniques include past life regressions, visualizations, meditations and affirmations as well as a host of activities designed to draw out and manifest your subconscious.
You will also enjoy a range of exciting one to one and group exercises and workshops, including outdoor boxing to help you really let go of that negative energy, equine therapy and intensive hiking sessions to help you reconnect with the natural energy which surrounds you.
One of Jules’ most popular and effective processes is the night time evocation of your spirit guides. In the dead of night you will be taken to an ancient druid burial ground and undergo a deep meditation process before being led alone into the dark to spend time calling upon the spirits for their guidance, support and knowledge. Although this is an emotional process, many leave these sessions with untold strength and a renewed sense of self-worth.
Jules has helped hundreds of clients suffering from weight problems, relationship worries, addictions, bereavements and health issues and unlike some others, his results last a life time.
If you feel it’s time for you to take control of the path on which you are travelling, then book a place on one of Jules’ retreats today and find out how you can change your life for the better.
