I currently have a damaged spine but intended to start doing lunges again anyway but about 3 months ago I tripped and fell and 2 more toes pulled apart. I didn’t think anything much of it after a week but since I tried to do lunges I can only do one leg unable to alternate as the toes won’t bend on the on I hurt. It’s driving me mad I’m so fat and only lunges really help me tone. So cant wait try these. Thanks

I have had one knee replaced and trying to keep the patella as pain free as possible is a top priority!

I am 37 and lunges have always been hard on my knees and toes, but they have been near impossible since I had toe surgery 2 years ago for hallux limitus. These alternate kettlebell moves are exactly what I need, especially since I like working with kettlebells. I just can’t thank you enough for posting this because I was having such a difficult time finding reasonable alternatives. You have taken a great weight off my shoulders…and knees…and toes. 🙂
