BALANCE PAD FRONT LUNGE

This is a balance or proprioception exercise for the foot and ankle. It is a modification of the front lunge exercise that uses a balance pad to provide an unstable surface. Start by standing behind a balance pad. Complete a front lunge by stepping forwards with one foot onto a balance pad. Dip the body down by bending both knees to 90 degrees and step backwards off of the pad to the initial position.
