No-touch skater lunge Setup: Stand on your left foot with your right knee bent, foot lifted behind you, knee flared out. Move: Bend your standing leg and squat down, tracking your knee over your toes and keeping your hips square as you reach your arms to the left side. Simultaneously reach your right foot behind you and to the left side to counterbalance your weight, but don’t let it touch the floor. Stand back up to the start and repeat right away. Do all reps on one side before switching. Tip: If you have trouble balancing, touch your toe lightly on the floor.

Setup: Stand on the dome of a Bosu and lift one foot. Extend your arms to the side and focus on a spot on the floor several feet in front of you. Tighten your abs and square your hips. Move: Slowly bend your knee and squat down as low as you can, keeping your chest lifted and your shoulders back. Feel free to move your arms forward or to the side to help balance, as shown. Extend your leg to return to the start. Do all reps on one side before switching. Tip: Your ankle will work double time here to keep you steady on an unstable surface. Split your sets into smaller groups of reps to prevent burnout of those tiny muscles.
