I finally figured out what's wrong with my lunge! Every time I go into a lunge where my left leg drags behind, I end up on an inside edge and turn my forward lunge into a three-turn lunge or, worse, fall over completely. The other day when I was doing lunges on the floor, I noticed that when I go into a lunge my right hip is sticking out too much and isn't over my center where it should be thereby throwing me off kilter. When I do a lunge on my other side, however, this doesn't happen. I don't do lunges on the other side because of pain so it has taken me a while to figure this out and I'm not sure Christopher would have easily noticed either. He probably thinks I'm just terrible at lunges (which, admittedly, I am).
I'm thinking of experimenting with this the next time I get on the ice. If I can manage a lunge on my bad leg (right leg dragging behind) I might just be able to eek out a good lunge for the test. I would rather be in slight pain for four seconds and perform a good lunge than to be in no pain and have a really bad lunge.
My body is weird. Fingers crossed that this fixes the problem :)
