Happy Monday

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Today, I thought that I would share 2 of my most favorite leg exercises with you.

1) Plie Squat

Now you can do this squat with heels up or down.  You can do this squat with weights.  I like to take one heavier weight and let it hang in front of my body. 

2) Curtsy lunge

There are a few ways you can do this one as well, but my favorite is to bring my back knee up into a "March" position and then into the "Curtsy" position.  

Make sure that you NEVER lock your knees, and NEVER let your knees go past your toes.  If you feel any pain, you should stop doing the exercise.  You do not want to risk injury.
