It is said that doing lunges every day keeps the doctor away 😅
Apologies for the silly joke…
Lunges target the following muscles:
abdominals
back muscles
gluteal muscles
quadriceps
hamstrings
calves
It is important to practice lunges properly. Not doing so can put too much pressure on the joints and may result in an injury.
-Knees over ankle (not in extended lunge)
-Body weight on the heels
-Square hips (not in the side lunge)
-Shoulders facing forward (not in side lunge)
-Lower ribs in
-Belly in
Here a few variations:
-Crescent lunge
-Low lunge
-Extended lunge
-Runner’s lunge
-Side lunge
