🏃♂️ Movement Monday: Lunge Variations for Better Pronation Control 👟
Pronation isn’t the enemy — it’s a normal part of running. But when the foot and ankle can’t control it efficiently, it can lead to issues up the chain like shin splints, knee pain, or Achilles irritation.
One of our favorite ways to improve control? Lunge variations that challenge balance, foot strength, and hip stability all at once. 💪
Focus on:
👣 Keeping the arch active
🦵 Controlling knee position
⚖️ Staying balanced through the foot
🔥 Engaging the glutes and medial ankle
The goal isn’t to stop pronation — it’s to improve how your body manages and rebounds from it while running.
