Movement Snacks: Lateral Ape Pushup and Up Down Lunge

Check out these two movement snacks that will work your entire body.  You can do these movement snacks anytime of the day to get in some extra movement by themselves. Or you can combine different movement snacks together for a longer full meal workout.

The Lateral Ape Push-up is a more offset and fullbody version of the classic push-up. It works both your front and rear kinetic chain. It also challenges your balance by moving through a large range of motion with offset limbs. The Up Down Lunge  mainly works your lower body and core.  It challenges your legs and core more than an average squat because your body is moving asymmetrically in the sagittal plane of movement and trying not to twist/rotate in the transverse plane of movement when switching legs in the bottom of the movement. This movement is the same as when we get up from a full kneeling position on the ground, like if we were gardening or cleaning up something that we spilled.

Lateral Ape Push-up:
Sets: 4
Reps: 6-10 full push-ups

Up/Down Lunge:
Sets: 4
Reps: 10 steps each side
