Lunge

Forward Lunge:

1. Stand tall with feet hip-width apart. Engage your core.
2. Take a big step forward with right leg. Start to shift your weight forward so heel hits the floor first.
3. Lower your body until right thigh is parallel to the floor and right shin is vertical. It’s OK if knee shifts forward a little as long as it doesn’t go past right toe. If mobility allows, lightly tap left knee to the floor while keeping weight in right heel.
4. Press into right heel to drive back up to starting position.
5. Repeat on the other side.





Reverse lunge with pulse: 

Many are quick to dismiss the reverse lunge as an easy alternative to the forward lunge. That is certainly not the case here. By adding a pulse variation, you'll be feeling the burn real quick. Sometimes it's the smallest movements that have the greatest impact.
