Lunge Exercise

The lunge exercise is one of my favorites. This exercise is very good fitness for the legs and hips. To do this exercise, keep your feet somewhat close together and place your hands on your hips. Keep your head up your spine in neutral and take one step forward. The back knee should drop down behind you. The movement for this exercise is to go back to the starting position by pushing off your front leg so that you’re back in the standing position. Weight should be evenly distributed across both legs as you do this exercise. When you have lunged forward, weight should be in the back of the leg you are stepping on. The first time you do this exercise, I would recommend just doing it 10 times. In further exercise sets, you can hold longer on each lunge plus increase repetitions.
