BIRTHFIT Movement: The Lunge

The lunge is a great movement that can reveal any asymmetries while also strengthening the legs, core, and posterior chain. Whenever we work with someone and they have any sort of discomfort while doing lunges, we advise them to see a chiropractor immediately. Just like the squat, the lunge may be an ideal position to birth your baby in.
