Time for a short video…about a minute and a half. I was asked a question about lunges and knee pain, whether front or back lunges are easier on the knees.
In the video I talk about the difference between quadriceps dominant lunges vs. glute dominant lunges. Quad dominant lunges are the more traditional 90/90 lunge and the glute is closer to a squat variation.
Which is better???
Thanks for watching and reading!

I tend to teach the glute version to my clients first before the tradional 90/90. SImply for a beginner's standpoint, the quad dominate awlays has weight-shifting concerns (too far forward stressing the quad/patella tendons)–and you at least get some hamstring work on the glute version. Once the glute version is master, we move to traditional lunges. Good post!
