Let's start off with a lunge. I picked this one for this week because you can do it anywhere anytime so it will help us get a little routine going, to see when it fits in best within everybody's schedules. I'm thinking three times a week for 1-2 mins. At class we did 1 min each leg. If I remember they started us on 45 seconds for the first session. So start within your own capabilities. Any discomfort then only do the movement to just before it starts. It is better with these exercises to do less and build up than over do them. Trust me, on some of the excises I didn't look like I was doing anything in week one but by the end I was doing it properly. Don't push yourself too hard as you can injure.
