Equipment
The lunge is a lower body exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps and gluteus maximus. It helps improve balance, coordination, and strength in the legs and core. Lunges are versatile and can be performed anywhere without the need for additional equipment.
How to do it
- Stand upright with feet hip-width apart and hands on your hips.
- Take a step forward with your right leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle.
- Ensure your front knee is directly above your ankle, and your back knee is not touching the floor.
- Push back to the starting position using your front leg.
- Repeat on the other side or alternate legs for each repetition.
