Lunges

1. Stand with your feet about 6 inches apart from each other toes pointed forward.

2. Step forward with one leg and lower your body to 90 degrees at both knees. Don’t step out too far.

3. Push up and back to the starting position to complete one rep. Repeat all reps on one leg, then switch to complete one set.

The Work-Out: Do 2-3 sets of 10-12 for each leg.

Make sure to: Keep your back upright. Place your hand on a chair or wall or balance if necessary.

Take it up a Notch: To increase the difficulty/intensity of this exercise, try using ankle weights or holding hand weights during your sets - you'll feel the extra burn!
