| Start Position | Middle Position | Finish Position | ||||
| What to do: | You'll need a little space for this exercise. Find an room or area of the gym where you can lunge at least 15-20 paces. For beginners hold your hands in front of you as shown above. If you are more advanced or would like a real challenge hold a medicine ball in front of you. Start by standing upright with your feet together. Lunge down and to your left by stepping to the side with your left leg (the model in this example is moving from left to right as you look at the pictures). Get into a deep squat and then continue to your left by bringing your right foot in to your left as you stand up again. Lunge 15-20 paces to the left and then reverse the direction and do the same thing to your right. |
|||||
| Don't Forget to: | Keep the feet pointed straight as you lunge. Also, Don't bend over too much. You want to make sure that you are using your legs for the lunge and not just bending over your upper body. In other words do your best to keep your upper body as upright as possible. | |||||
| Equipment needed: | Nothing (hands in front) or with a medicine ball for more advanced exercises. | |||||
| Muscles worked: | All leg muscles: quads, hamstrings, glutes, and some calves and inner/outer thighs. | |||||
