New Year New You

It’s the end of week three already and by now you should be finding Stella’s exercises a little bit easier. Why not add in today’s exercise to your work out to step things up a gear.

Today fitness guru Stella Bartram shows us how to do the side lunch reach, which will work your inner and outer thighs. Make sure you’ve warmed up properly and have plenty of room.

Standing with your feet nice and narrow, hold strong in the core, posture nice and tall. This step might test your balance so here goes!

Lunge to the side then reach for the toe and reach over the head and hold for three seconds before returning to a standing position. Repeat on the other side, but Stella explains: “Make sure the knee is just over the toes and the back is nice and strong.”

Repeat as many times as you want for your work out and there you have it, the side lunge reach!
