1. The lunge is a great exercise. It hits the quads, hamstrings, and glutes. Every variation can be done with dumbbells, a barbell on the back, or a barbell held in the front squat position.. 2. The length of your stride (the space between your feet) will determine which muscles are targeted most. A short stride hits the quads more. A longer stride hits the hamstrings and glutes more.. 3. The biggest mistake with the lunge is bending forward at the waist. This is caused by inactive glutes and can injure the lower back. Keep the torso upright and don’t “fling” yourself back into the starting position.. 4. These tips can apply to most lunge variations: walking lunge, static lunge (where your feet stay in the same place as you move up and down), dynamic lunge, or the backward lunge.

The lunge is a great functional exercise to use to strengthen your legs, especially your muscles around your knees, for everyday activities. It is important to know how to do your lunges correctly though, so you don’t end up putting unwanted strain on your knee joints and do more harm than good.. This video will walk you through the steps to do the most basic lunge, the stationary lunge. This is the type of lunge that you will want to start with if you are just beginning so you can get the correct form for a lunge.. The key components of doing a lunge correctly that this video shows are: 1) Start with one leg out in front of you at a comfortable distance where you can maintain your balance and be able to lower yourself down to perform the lunge.. 2) When you lower yourself, go as straight down as possible rather than moving forward.. 3) Keep the knee of your front leg behind the toes of your front foot.. 4) When you lower yourself down, keep your chest up and keep looking forward.. 5) Perform the entire movement slowly and with control.. Start off doing 10 repetitions with one leg, then switch to the other leg.. Once you’ve built up some strength in your legs and you feel comfortable with you lunge form, try a few different versions of the lunge that can be found in this video: https://youtu.be/5wb_R09tujo.

List of related literature:
from the control position, reach around your opponent’s leg at the hip and drive forward, bringing your opponent’s knee towards his chin, stacking him up (figure 8.4a).
from Mastering Jujitsu by Renzo Gracie, John Danaher Human Kinetics, Incorporated, 2003
The rule now is, sit back, sit fast, pull hard, holding the horse’s head at high as possible, and spur with all your force at every interval of kicking; and finding the opportunity, use yuur whip effectually on the thigh, the belly, and, if necessary, on the jaws of the brute.
To make this move even more effective, twist and look back toward the leg that is behind you once you’re in the lunging position (for example, look over your left shoulder if your left leg is behind you).
Unfortunately, many climbers do exactly this when they lunge, swing, or scum wildly through a sequence that could be done more efficiently by learning a new move, technique, or body position.
The reprise is preceded by a return to the on-guard position,* often in the form of a forward recovery—that is, following a lunge,* the rear leg is brought forward to establish a new on-guard position to put the attacker closer to his opponent.
Perform the same motions with the left leg: step back, press the heel into the ground, straighten the leg, and contract the buttock muscle; hold for a beat; return to the starting position.
Facing the hindquarters of the horse, holding the lead with the hand that was closest to the horse, and holding the long whip with the other hand, the trainer used the lead rein with the appropriate pressure to prevent him going forward, rather than sideways with the hindlegs.
Instead of engaging, the displaying buck may confront the opponent and, head lowered, paw the ground alternately with a front leg two to three times, then switch to the other front leg.
Hloo i m feeling shortness with breathe from few days i check covid test got negative my lungs r not working well Doctor said due to ciggratess which i quit asap can u plzzz help me out with lungs exercise soon plzz i m tensed
the knee of the back leg always hurtsI suppose I’m putting too much stress on it and too little stress on the muscle of the front leg? I wonder what I’m doing wrong…
I’m nearly 63 (boo hoo) and generally fit, work outside and am active but a lot of me has gone to pot!! I tried these and it hurts to start with but after a while WOW what a difference and it’s true, you can keep yourself younger than you think if you concentrate on keeping strong. Thank you for this, very useful and encouraging.
OMG Adriene! I shifted my center a bit too far and just crashed my head into the wall in front of me! Yeah. CRASH! (Turning away from the wall on my mat, trying again, opposite direction!)
I don’t get how people can do both legs symmetricaly. I never know if i went far enough with the other leg. Even if i try my best to do both legs equally, i can feel pain on different muscles in each leg.
This one was randomly up on my You Tube today and was exactly what I needed. Thoroughly enjoyed:-) The thread thru twists are amazing stretches! Thank-you!
I’m late to yoga, and from incorrect form, ended up with chronic bursitis, back to foundations! Or in my case start! Would love a beginner practice for senior newbies.
Not played ufc in a few months and saw the videos on the patch so gave it another shot, gotta say the movement is almost perfect now, you feel fully in control of the fighters stand up game
I have great difficulty keeping sideways control (viewed from the front), even just doing static lunges. I sway, or my front knee moves out of alignment, typically coming across the mid-line. Sometimes, my hips move to the outside of the front knee. Is this because I’m weak (e.g. glutes) or do I just need to practice more? Any tips much appreciated Cori.
I bought this game when it first came out and sold it immediately. I bought it last week and LOVE it. SO many improvements! Definitely recommend picking it up now!
Thanks mademoiselle, the only thing I get bemused about is whether the ‘back leg’ needs to touch the ground or not? It is such a “lazy-ish” exercise (especially after some wild training), to do and also with side lounges, does one need to over stretch? (Especially if I am using weights). Which leg actually benefits from the lounge exercise please? Cheers
Excelente información! Pareciera obvio cuál debe ser el rango de movimiento de un desplante y por qué, pero no es así, he visto a mucha gente ejecutarlo, excediendo o acortando el ángulo de los 90° y pocas veces ha habido un instructor que corrija el movimiento y de una explicación de ello. Como siempre, no podía faltar la ternura y gracia de Kiwi, es un pedacito de algodón con bellos ojos. Besos y abrazos!
Now I understand more of the mechanics behind the lunge. Great instructional video, Coach! It will help preserve my operated and worn out knees. Muchas gracias! ��
Another great tuto Martial, thank you very much Sir 😉 In practice mod i’ve no problem but in a fight i get caught very often by hooks when i use the pivot animation ;( and i get rocked.. We need a lot of times for execute this pivot correctly without getting caught. Everytime i watch your videos, that look easy to execute but in reality it’s not!!! Lol.
i recently bought ufc 3, this is something im struggling with, how can i control the range between me and my opponent and that major lunge that i somehow see in games but i cant do on my own, but because of this video i learned a lot.
Dude please help me with head movement spammers, they’re so fucking annoying I can’t stand them it’s impossible to hit them and impossible to block because they just break it, it’s pissing me off so much they only won from head movement nothing else
I am really struggeling with my left leg, watched many video’s but I always come back to you. You are real. And you give an integrated explanation. Thats wy I love YWA so mutch. You are the best. I keep practising and will not forget my center. Its the yourney that makes the difference.
Yeah I won’t be doing this shit. It’s cool that they added it. But it’s too dangerous. I’m pretty sure you’ll get stunned every time you get punched doing this.
You are just an excellent teacher holy schmoly!! I was struggling so hard with this transition up until day 11 in the 30-day challenge and I. Freaking. Got it. Thank you x10:)))
So I can pivot like Lomachenko, but I still can’t simply block while swaying?
I’ve lost a bunch of fights naturally reacting to head kicks not just by blocking them but by leaning my head back while blocking which weirdly cancels my block.
Don’t get me wrong I like that they keep adding to the game. But it’s annoying that they keep ignoring the fundamental flaws of the game.
thank you¡¡ Great master class. I´ve been waiting for your masterful classes each week for a period of months, and the results are awesome, not only in my body but in my motivation energy and willingness. Keep on this way never stop Queen of fitness.thank you very much
Adrienne, I tell people all about you! You Re my yoga class! So easy to learn from you. You are real, no judgement, no language that I have to look up after the fact. Would definitely love to see more instructional video like this one. It’s slow and gives the basics, once mastered we can go from there….. keep up the good work girl!
yo guys, since this new update I cant seem to land the thai clinch consistently anymore on PS4 (L1 + L2 + flick rightstick up). It didn’t change right? instead of going to thai clinch, i major lunge to the left (up)
First of all the lady that is doing the lunges has a different form so if your talking about how it should be done he should have put her hands little bit more up to her hips for balance and did a lunge one leg forward and one leg backwards the forwards leg is not fully touching the floor
THIS is the video I needed. Thank you! Thought I was doing something wrong when I couldn’t “swing” my whole leg through. Just needed to be where my body wanted me to be.:)
Thank you so much for this bro… You have been INSTRUMENTAL in forming the absolute MONSTER that i am in this game now lol. Your videos are amazing bruh
Great video, man! At 1:44, that’s a TJ special move, that sets up his special 1-2-3. I think that to perform his major front lunge, we gotta use the other stick.
When I am in low lunge position and I try and put my hands flat on the floor, my knee is in my chest and I literally can’t lower my body far enough to get my hands flat on either side of my foot because my knee won’t allow me to get my hands flat. (if that makes sense). I can not place my hands flat onto the ground while in the lunge position. What is the modifications for tall, long legged people?
Guys, how do I deny a takedown against the cage? Like when they go for a double leg and push me against the cage bc it seems impossible for me to deny. Plz helppp
I am beyond impressed with the development of this game. The tracking thing is something i’ve been asking for since UFC 1. The head movement leading into a pivot is something i’d fantasize about but would never expect to get implemented. All I can say is wow.
This was SO MUCH HARDER than I thought that it would be, but I LOVED it! It was challenging. It was difficult. But I feel ALIVE. And I feel encouraged, like I will make it all the way up there one day. I CAN do yoga. Yoga is for everyone. Yoga is for ME. ❤
Fantastic! Thank you for this great comprehensive overview of lunges. I was avoiding them for the common reason of knee pain now I can begin to incorporate these in my routine safely.
Any tips for a gal with big tummy, wide but short legs and little plump arms. It feels like trying to thread a needle with a rope. Lol On a good day I can get my leg to the outside of my hand so I get some positive feedback for myself but I know its not what I so want, it looks so beautiful when done properly. By the way of all the yoga on line videos I love the way you come across with your teaching style. You allow me 2 feel so good about even just trying. Thank you. I love Benjy too.
I find that I am not able to put my back foot down flat while my palms are flat on the floor. Is it ok for me to do it up on the ball of my foot rather than flat?
I mostly enjoyed the short lunge range/distance tutorial. I use them quite a bit but I didn’t really understand that they have specific striking range stop points. �� = ��
Do you think that the new streamlining of defensive movement and elusive techniques is enough to balance the distance management vs the aggressive player disparity that the game has had up to this point? Also, what is the stamina drain in a fight like when you use the lunges and pivots?
M a r t i a l M i n d can we spar I’ve been off this game 4 almost 5 months and I played it at friends house an it’s completely different. I need sum1 gud 2 spar wid 2 get my skills up fast with.
I love these new evasive techniques, but fighting the computer is hell now. They were already unrealistically good, now they perfectly evade everything. It’s ridiculous. Either way though, the updates sick. The block counters are hard to pull off, but so satisfying to land.
Thank you so much for explaining this! I’ve never been able to do this and it’s frustrating but now I’ll have some things to keep in mind as I keep trying!
Thank you! I also notice an issue when moving through downward dog, lunges and warrior poses. It seems like sometimes my position is too wide (legs too far apart from each other or my hands), and I need to keep adjusting quite a lot. For example, going to warrior 1 from lunge, my legs are definitely too far away from each other, and then returning to plank and downward dog my legs and arms have too much space in between, so I need adjust so that the downward dog and plank are actually different poses:D any advice on this? My arms specifically are quite long.
I’ve been doing yoga for years, and no one ever explained to me this foundational thing to me. I’ve been swinging my legs up each and every time. Now I understand, and now I can GROW. Thank you, Adriene!
I really needed this as Downward Dog to Lung is a difficult transition for me. I am taking the time, during quarantine, to improved my yoga practice. Doing so is a great use of the extra time I have now. I plan to complete the entire Foundations Playlist! Your instructions are very clear. Thanks.
Love this video! This is going to help so much as I continue to get stronger! I had no idea how to overcome this challenge, but now I know what to work on to get there.
I think it’s awesome that we can have a discussion here too. It’s super chill in this comments section. My wrists really felt this one. As always thank you Adriene.
My biggest struggle is that my hands slip after a while in down dog. It’s so frustrating and I find myself struggling and putting too much pressure in my hands to stay up.
I think I need to accept that my arms are just way too short to pull this off. There isn’t enough space between me and the ground to fit my leg through.
Excellent and informative mate! I don’t play online much, but thoroughly enjoy the offline features, though career mode is medicore at best lol can play on hard consistently, but after this patch drop. The AI changes have been crazy good, their range fighting is trickier now and the added seated finish the fight against the cage is more fluid as well. What’s your thoughts on the new AI? Do you play it much Martial?
Thank you for making this video and guidance about raising awareness of our own body. I struggled with this for a long while and now i understand that I tend to think about ‘swinging’ my leg forward to meet my hands and this causes me to go “haywire” ie. hips were swinging out and landing with a thump and get all exhausted after a few rounds of sun salutations. The focus and reference points were more clear now from your pointers. With all my heart, thank you Adriene!
I love this breakdown and I will practice until I can accomplish this position. I have one question. I can transition into downward facing dog but when I try to lift my right leg up and back to transition to a lunge my left quad cramps and I have to come back to downward dog. Am I missing something or do I just need to practice until I can do this? Thank you for this practice it is helping me so much!
I’m new to yoga, and your videos are filling a huge gap/need for me. Dude…. THANK YOU for all of the work you give and for modeling self-kindness. You just told me to “be on your own team.” I love that. I’m super appreciative of your tips, instruction and flows. Thanks, Adriene! Wishing you continued success.
I introduced yoga to my students 3 years ago when I discovered everything it did for me. We had an actual instructor come once a week and teach, but her schedule changed and we found another, who then became ill and long story short…I realized if I got the right connections I could access Yoga with Adriene on You tube! Our tech department came through and the kids love watching her and doing yoga! Starting them early, 30+ 6 to 12 year olds! This one is a fantastic video because she is so good at explaining everything and no put downs….I have been following her for over 5 years now and I don’t think she can make a bad video lol!
Aww I missed this! I had to leave for a bit because tests and finals and presentations were coming out of my ears. I sacrificed a lot to get through to the next quarter and I’m so happy I made it. But I’m here now and starting at the very beginning again just to get back into the groove. I can really tell that I lost a bit of my yoga mojo, but no worries. The worst possible thing would be to never start again. I honestly love yoga, and when I’m in my groove and constantly practicing, I feel a world of difference. Namaste ����
Just a while ago i couldn’t land my feet anywhere near my hands, but after watching this and knowing the trick, i was able to land it beside my hands!! Altho not as aligned as adriene’s but better than yesterday and earlier today. Thanks so much! I’ll practice more each day.
P.s. i can’t stay long on the hovering knees position.:((( i think I have to work very harder on that
Wow, that was amazing, Adriene. It felt great becoming aware of my center and actually moving it forward! I love coupling your videos with my freeletics training. Strength is nothing without flexibility and concentration. Namaste!
I’m laid off because of COIVD 19! In July, I did the 30 day challenge from 2015 & noticed I couldn’t go from downward facing dog to a lunge. I’m going to try this….. Wish me luck!!!
Thanks for explaining and breaking down the parts of the movement of the transition between poses. Is there a sequence of working through your tutorials you’d recommend? So far I have been wandering around in no particular order
So, last night when I worked my way through this video, I said to myself, “I can’t do this.” This morning, when I tried again on my own, I said, “I have a short waist and long legs and I can’t do this.” TONIGHT, I DID IT!!!
Hi Adriene, this video is so great and it has helped me very much. I love it! I was wondering if you would be willing to explain how to transition from plank to upward facing dog. I have seen other YWA videos where you do a half pushup and the move to upward dog. I would like to understand how to make that transition. Any tips you may have would be much appreciated! Thank you!
Woooow, this video totally changed how far forward I can step my foot. I never did the rocking forward motion so I never felt like I had the space to get my leg through properly. Love learning these small but mighty adjustments ��
My main problem is that my belly and chest are too big. I can’t even touch my palms to the ground when in a lunge with my foot aligned with my hands. Bad combination of large midsection and short arms.
Very good video and info. I really do sit a lot, at my work and at home too. No one has teached me how to do lunges properly. Now I will know and keep in my mind this important factor. Thank you!
This is literally what I’ve been waiting for! Finally a video that shows me the transition from down dog to low lunge. And the idea of moving with the center and moving the leg along opens up a new way for my practice. Thank you so much!
I’m so grateful for you Adriene, I really struggle with this transition. I have a spinal condition and have some weakness in my lower body. Now I know to work more on my core alignment then that’s what I’ll do every practice. I’ve started deepening my pigeon and I’m up to 12 deep breaths lying down and 12 sitting up with my extended leg bent, foot up to the ceiling. I can also grab my toes I’m seated forward bend. So if I’ve managed to achieve that in 5-6 weeks, you bet I’m going to nail that transition!! Thanks so much beautiful, you’re really valued and appreciated ����������
Been struggling and wondering about the reason why I simply can’t do something that seems so simple. And it’s really reassuring I’m not the only one. I’m really glad that Adriene created a little practice, explaining reason and what to focus on even way back then!
This video was so helpful!! I’ve been watching your channel on and off for at least two years now and I’ve finally committed my self to following a long at least two days a week! You are amazing and your instructions are so clear that I feel comfortable enough not to always have my eyes on the screen!! Keep up the great work!
You’re a wonderful teacher and your instructions are spot on! How long have you been teaching for? I’m not nearly as eloquent as you are, but I hope to be one day. Thank you for inspiring me.
Thanks to whoever asked this question. And thanks Adriene for explaining the transition. I thought I was the only person who couldn’t get their leg in the right position without using my hand. Feels great to know I’m not alone and how to get stronger. Thanks again.
This is a good demo to show progression! I think almost all of us have jumped into doing a fully extended lunge which is shown in fitness magazines etc. but just as a photo (my experience at least…) and have denied the total potential of this exercise!
Hi, thank you for this video. When I go from downward dog to lung my knee gets suck on the outside of my arm instead of landing in the centre and it’s totally uncoordinated and weird, I would love some help with this. If you can understand what I mean. Thank you Adriene xo
Great info man as always!!! I appreciate you going over this.I was wondering a few things about this subject.There is always something usually with the update I am trying to figure out and this covered it for this one lol.Thanx again buddy.
Your breakdown/technique videos are amazing. I have watched the wrist one, the downward dog one, and now this. I can really feel the attentive difference.
Thank you for making this video! Transitions are so hard and confusing to me. They are always done quickly in my class, and my forward leg never seems to end up far enough, while everyone around me seems to get it right at first try. I haven’t been able do the transitions smoothly, but I will practice with your video, you explain so well, thank you!
you’ve got to share where you get all your cute leggings and yoga gear. been doing yoga camp and love love love the gray skinny legs and these leggings are awesome too
Hey Adriene! I’ve been wondering if you could do a chaturanga how-to video. I’ve been practising yoga for many years now but have always felt like I don’t have the hang of it, and as a fibromyalgia lady I’m scared of doing it wrong and have thus kind of just done belly to cobra all these years. It would be a real victory for me to understand how to properly do it, and I’d prefer from someone I already trust. 😉
Hloo i m feeling shortness with breathe from few days i check covid test got negative my lungs r not working well

So let’s say you have your Right Foot in front of you. Will this be predominantly working out your right knee or your left knee at the back?
Been exercising a while now and since I haven’t been doing lunges in my work outs for months I had to look up how to do a lunge cause I forgot ��

Pareciera obvio cuál debe ser el rango de movimiento de un desplante y por qué, pero no es así, he visto a mucha gente ejecutarlo, excediendo o acortando el ángulo de los 90° y pocas veces ha habido un instructor que corrija el movimiento y de una explicación de ello.
Como siempre, no podía faltar la ternura y gracia de Kiwi, es un pedacito de algodón con bellos ojos.
Besos y abrazos!
Now I understand more of the mechanics behind the lunge. Great instructional video, Coach! It will help preserve my operated and worn out knees. Muchas gracias! ��
Another great tuto Martial, thank you very much Sir 😉 In practice mod i’ve no problem but in a fight i get caught very often by hooks when i use the pivot animation ;( and i get rocked..
We need a lot of times for execute this pivot correctly without getting caught.
Everytime i watch your videos, that look easy to execute but in reality it’s not!!! Lol.
i recently bought ufc 3, this is something im struggling with, how can i control the range between me and my opponent and that major lunge that i somehow see in games but i cant do on my own, but because of this video i learned a lot.
Dude please help me with head movement spammers, they’re so fucking annoying I can’t stand them it’s impossible to hit them and impossible to block because they just break it, it’s pissing me off so much they only won from head movement nothing else
I am really struggeling with my left leg, watched many video’s but I always come back to you. You are real. And you give an integrated explanation. Thats wy I love YWA so mutch. You are the best. I keep practising and will not forget my center. Its the yourney that makes the difference.
Yeah I won’t be doing this shit. It’s cool that they added it. But it’s too dangerous. I’m pretty sure you’ll get stunned every time you get punched doing this.
You are just an excellent teacher holy schmoly!! I was struggling so hard with this transition up until day 11 in the 30-day challenge and I. Freaking. Got it. Thank you x10:)))
So I can pivot like Lomachenko, but I still can’t simply block while swaying?
I’ve lost a bunch of fights naturally reacting to head kicks not just by blocking them but by leaning my head back while blocking which weirdly cancels my block.
Don’t get me wrong I like that they keep adding to the game. But it’s annoying that they keep ignoring the fundamental flaws of the game.
thank you¡¡ Great master class. I´ve been waiting for your masterful classes each week for a period of months, and the results are awesome, not only in my body but in my motivation energy and willingness.
Keep on this way never stop Queen of fitness.thank you very much
Adrienne, I tell people all about you! You Re my yoga class! So easy to learn from you. You are real, no judgement, no language that I have to look up after the fact.
Would definitely love to see more instructional video like this one. It’s slow and gives the basics, once mastered we can go from there….. keep up the good work girl!
I’m so glad I found this video. I have never been able to lunge forward but at least now I have some direction. Thank you so much!
yo guys, since this new update I cant seem to land the thai clinch consistently anymore on PS4 (L1 + L2 + flick rightstick up). It didn’t change right? instead of going to thai clinch, i major lunge to the left (up)
First of all the lady that is doing the lunges has a different form so if your talking about how it should be done he should have put her hands little bit more up to her hips for balance and did a lunge one leg forward and one leg backwards the forwards leg is not fully touching the floor
THIS is the video I needed. Thank you! Thought I was doing something wrong when I couldn’t “swing” my whole leg through. Just needed to be where my body wanted me to be.:)
Thank you so much for this bro… You have been INSTRUMENTAL in forming the absolute MONSTER that i am in this game now lol. Your videos are amazing bruh
Great video, man! At 1:44, that’s a TJ special move, that sets up his special 1-2-3. I think that to perform his major front lunge, we gotta use the other stick.
When I am in low lunge position and I try and put my hands flat on the floor, my knee is in my chest and I literally can’t lower my body far enough to get my hands flat on either side of my foot because my knee won’t allow me to get my hands flat. (if that makes sense). I can not place my hands flat onto the ground while in the lunge position. What is the modifications for tall, long legged people?
Guys, how do I deny a takedown against the cage? Like when they go for a double leg and push me against the cage bc it seems impossible for me to deny. Plz helppp
I am beyond impressed with the development of this game. The tracking thing is something i’ve been asking for since UFC 1. The head movement leading into a pivot is something i’d fantasize about but would never expect to get implemented. All I can say is wow.
I’m having a hard time to counter after the pivot. any tricks? Can I counter with all strikes or just straights? Doesn’t work for me properly.
This was SO MUCH HARDER than I thought that it would be, but I LOVED it! It was challenging. It was difficult. But I feel ALIVE. And I feel encouraged, like I will make it all the way up there one day. I CAN do yoga. Yoga is for everyone. Yoga is for ME. ❤
Fantastic! Thank you for this great comprehensive overview of lunges. I was avoiding them for the common reason of knee pain now I can begin to incorporate these in my routine safely.
Any tips for a gal with big tummy, wide but short legs and little plump arms. It feels like trying to thread a needle with a rope. Lol On a good day I can get my leg to the outside of my hand so I get some positive feedback for myself but I know its not what I so want, it looks so beautiful when done properly. By the way of all the yoga on line videos I love the way you come across with your teaching style. You allow me 2 feel so good about even just trying. Thank you. I love Benjy too.
I find that I am not able to put my back foot down flat while my palms are flat on the floor. Is it ok for me to do it up on the ball of my foot rather than flat?
I mostly enjoyed the short lunge range/distance tutorial. I use them quite a bit but I didn’t really understand that they have specific striking range stop points. �� = ��
Do you think that the new streamlining of defensive movement and elusive techniques is enough to balance the distance management vs the aggressive player disparity that the game has had up to this point? Also, what is the stamina drain in a fight like when you use the lunges and pivots?
M a r t i a l M i n d can we spar I’ve been off this game 4 almost 5 months and I played it at friends house an it’s completely different. I need sum1 gud 2 spar wid 2 get my skills up fast with.
I love these new evasive techniques, but fighting the computer is hell now. They were already unrealistically good, now they perfectly evade everything. It’s ridiculous. Either way though, the updates sick. The block counters are hard to pull off, but so satisfying to land.
Thank you so much for explaining this! I’ve never been able to do this and it’s frustrating but now I’ll have some things to keep in mind as I keep trying!
Thank you!
I also notice an issue when moving through downward dog, lunges and warrior poses. It seems like sometimes my position is too wide (legs too far apart from each other or my hands), and I need to keep adjusting quite a lot. For example, going to warrior 1 from lunge, my legs are definitely too far away from each other, and then returning to plank and downward dog my legs and arms have too much space in between, so I need adjust so that the downward dog and plank are actually different poses:D any advice on this? My arms specifically are quite long.
I’ve been doing yoga for years, and no one ever explained to me this foundational thing to me. I’ve been swinging my legs up each and every time. Now I understand, and now I can GROW. Thank you, Adriene!
I really needed this as Downward Dog to Lung is a difficult transition for me. I am taking the time, during quarantine, to improved my yoga practice. Doing so is a great use of the extra time I have now. I plan to complete the entire Foundations Playlist! Your instructions are very clear. Thanks.
Hello Adriene,
Thanks for this video! How do I know whether my down-dog is too long or too short? Many thanks. From London.:)
This is incredibly helpful!!! I’ve been struggling with this transition ever since I’ve started doing yoga—I can’t wait to see how this helps!!!
Love this video! This is going to help so much as I continue to get stronger! I had no idea how to overcome this challenge, but now I know what to work on to get there.
I think it’s awesome that we can have a discussion here too. It’s super chill in this comments section. My wrists really felt this one. As always thank you Adriene.
My biggest struggle is that my hands slip after a while in down dog. It’s so frustrating and I find myself struggling and putting too much pressure in my hands to stay up.
I think I need to accept that my arms are just way too short to pull this off. There isn’t enough space between me and the ground to fit my leg through.
Excellent and informative mate!
I don’t play online much, but thoroughly enjoy the offline features, though career mode is medicore at best lol can play on hard consistently, but after this patch drop. The AI changes have been crazy good, their range fighting is trickier now and the added seated finish the fight against the cage is more fluid as well.
What’s your thoughts on the new AI? Do you play it much Martial?
Thank you for making this video and guidance about raising awareness of our own body. I struggled with this for a long while and now i understand that I tend to think about ‘swinging’ my leg forward to meet my hands and this causes me to go “haywire” ie. hips were swinging out and landing with a thump and get all exhausted after a few rounds of sun salutations. The focus and reference points were more clear now from your pointers. With all my heart, thank you Adriene!
I love this breakdown and I will practice until I can accomplish this position. I have one question. I can transition into downward facing dog but when I try to lift my right leg up and back to transition to a lunge my left quad cramps and I have to come back to downward dog. Am I missing something or do I just need to practice until I can do this? Thank you for this practice it is helping me so much!
I’m new to yoga, and your videos are filling a huge gap/need for me. Dude…. THANK YOU for all of the work you give and for modeling self-kindness. You just told me to “be on your own team.” I love that. I’m super appreciative of your tips, instruction and flows. Thanks, Adriene! Wishing you continued success.
I introduced yoga to my students 3 years ago when I discovered everything it did for me. We had an actual instructor come once a week and teach, but her schedule changed and we found another, who then became ill and long story short…I realized if I got the right connections I could access Yoga with Adriene on You tube! Our tech department came through and the kids love watching her and doing yoga! Starting them early, 30+ 6 to 12 year olds! This one is a fantastic video because she is so good at explaining everything and no put downs….I have been following her for over 5 years now and I don’t think she can make a bad video lol!
Aww I missed this! I had to leave for a bit because tests and finals and presentations were coming out of my ears. I sacrificed a lot to get through to the next quarter and I’m so happy I made it. But I’m here now and starting at the very beginning again just to get back into the groove. I can really tell that I lost a bit of my yoga mojo, but no worries. The worst possible thing would be to never start again. I honestly love yoga, and when I’m in my groove and constantly practicing, I feel a world of difference. Namaste ����
Just a while ago i couldn’t land my feet anywhere near my hands, but after watching this and knowing the trick, i was able to land it beside my hands!! Altho not as aligned as adriene’s but better than yesterday and earlier today. Thanks so much! I’ll practice more each day.
P.s. i can’t stay long on the hovering knees position.:((( i think I have to work very harder on that
Wow, that was amazing, Adriene. It felt great becoming aware of my center and actually moving it forward! I love coupling your videos with my freeletics training. Strength is nothing without flexibility and concentration. Namaste!
I’m laid off because of COIVD 19! In July, I did the 30 day challenge from 2015 & noticed I couldn’t go from downward facing dog to a lunge. I’m going to try this….. Wish me luck!!!
Thanks for explaining and breaking down the parts of the movement of the transition between poses.
Is there a sequence of working through your tutorials you’d recommend? So far I have been wandering around in no particular order
So, last night when I worked my way through this video, I said to myself, “I can’t do this.” This morning, when I tried again on my own, I said, “I have a short waist and long legs and I can’t do this.” TONIGHT, I DID IT!!!
Hi Adriene, this video is so great and it has helped me very much. I love it! I was wondering if you would be willing to explain how to transition from plank to upward facing dog. I have seen other YWA videos where you do a half pushup and the move to upward dog. I would like to understand how to make that transition. Any tips you may have would be much appreciated! Thank you!
Woooow, this video totally changed how far forward I can step my foot. I never did the rocking forward motion so I never felt like I had the space to get my leg through properly. Love learning these small but mighty adjustments ��
Does this also apply to when using dumbells for extra weight? I recently have knee pain and I was wondering if it was due to bad form
My main problem is that my belly and chest are too big. I can’t even touch my palms to the ground when in a lunge with my foot aligned with my hands. Bad combination of large midsection and short arms.
Very good video and info. I really do sit a lot, at my work and at home too. No one has teached me how to do lunges properly. Now I will know and keep in my mind this important factor. Thank you!
This is literally what I’ve been waiting for! Finally a video that shows me the transition from down dog to low lunge. And the idea of moving with the center and moving the leg along opens up a new way for my practice. Thank you so much!
I’m so grateful for you Adriene, I really struggle with this transition. I have a spinal condition and have some weakness in my lower body. Now I know to work more on my core alignment then that’s what I’ll do every practice. I’ve started deepening my pigeon and I’m up to 12 deep breaths lying down and 12 sitting up with my extended leg bent, foot up to the ceiling. I can also grab my toes I’m seated forward bend. So if I’ve managed to achieve that in 5-6 weeks, you bet I’m going to nail that transition!! Thanks so much beautiful, you’re really valued and appreciated ����������
Been struggling and wondering about the reason why I simply can’t do something that seems so simple. And it’s really reassuring I’m not the only one. I’m really glad that Adriene created a little practice, explaining reason and what to focus on even way back then!
This video was so helpful!! I’ve been watching your channel on and off for at least two years now and I’ve finally committed my self to following a long at least two days a week! You are amazing and your instructions are so clear that I feel comfortable enough not to always have my eyes on the screen!! Keep up the great work!
This was great! I have always had trouble with this transition. Thanks for the help and all of your videos. I absolutely love them!
Why is it that it feels as if I have no room for my foot to go forward? I can only reach half way, perhaps it will get better as my core improves?
You’re a wonderful teacher and your instructions are spot on! How long have you been teaching for? I’m not nearly as eloquent as you are, but I hope to be one day. Thank you for inspiring me.
Thanks to whoever asked this question. And thanks Adriene for explaining the transition. I thought I was the only person who couldn’t get their leg in the right position without using my hand. Feels great to know I’m not alone and how to get stronger. Thanks again.
This is a good demo to show progression! I think almost all of us have jumped into doing a fully extended lunge which is shown in fitness magazines etc. but just as a photo (my experience at least…) and have denied the total potential of this exercise!
Hi, thank you for this video. When I go from downward dog to lung my knee gets suck on the outside of my arm instead of landing in the centre and it’s totally uncoordinated and weird, I would love some help with this. If you can understand what I mean. Thank you Adriene xo
Great info man as always!!! I appreciate you going over this.I was wondering a few things about this subject.There is always something usually with the update I am trying to figure out and this covered it for this one lol.Thanx again buddy.
Your breakdown/technique videos are amazing. I have watched the wrist one, the downward dog one, and now this. I can really feel the attentive difference.
Thank you for making this video! Transitions are so hard and confusing to me. They are always done quickly in my class, and my forward leg never seems to end up far enough, while everyone around me seems to get it right at first try. I haven’t been able do the transitions smoothly, but I will practice with your video, you explain so well, thank you!
you’ve got to share where you get all your cute leggings and yoga gear. been doing yoga camp and love love love the gray skinny legs and these leggings are awesome too
Hey Adriene! I’ve been wondering if you could do a chaturanga how-to video. I’ve been practising yoga for many years now but have always felt like I don’t have the hang of it, and as a fibromyalgia lady I’m scared of doing it wrong and have thus kind of just done belly to cobra all these years. It would be a real victory for me to understand how to properly do it, and I’d prefer from someone I already trust. 😉
