Walking Lunges

Muscles worked

quads, hamstrings, glutes, and some calves

• Start by standing upright with your feet together. For beginners place your hand on your hips (and have smiles on your lips). For more advanced exercisers hold a dumbbell in each hand or a barbell on your shoulders.
• Take a long step and bend both knees and lunge towards the floor. Keep you feet pointed straight.
• The back leg is the one doing most of the work.
• Bring your feet together after the first lunge and then lunge forward with the opposite leg.
• Alternate your legs as you go across the floor and bring your feet together between each step.
