I remember as a child listening to a recording of myself for the first time. An incredibly thick New York accent came out from the tape deck and I was surprised. I must have said something like; ‘I don’t sound like that’, because one of the older kids laughed and said that it was a tape and that was exactly what I sounded like. To this day I remember how strange it was that in my head I sounded completely different.

Cherish your accent though, it is what makes you unique and keeps the world interesting.

Anyway great post, I enjoy your approach to fitness in that it focuses on being flexible and strong throughout your body. As opposed to just focusing in on getting bigger biceps and what not. Thanks.

Thanks for your response, I’ll keep at it. I have done a lot more forward lunges in the past.

Hi Renee

reverse lunges are a little more difficult balance wise but generally use the same muscle groups. I find they activate your butt a lot better because you have to switch it on to take your leg behind you. therefore it gets activated straight away. I’m not sure you necessarily have an imbalance, but you may just be used to forward lunges, they are a much more common movement, the reverse lunge challenges your balance a little more. i also find they get a better hip flexor stretch, same reason, you activate your glutes straight away and therefore turn off your hip flexors and get them to relax.

hope that helps
