#3 Forward Lunge
The forward lunge is extremely effective in toning the hamstrings, quads and the calf muscles found in the lower body. Additionally, it targets a host of muscles in the upper body, including the core and the muscles found in the back.
Instructions:
Step 1: Stand straight with your feet positioned shoulder-width apart. Place your arms on the side and parallel to the body.
Step 2: Take a step forward using your right leg such that the left knee touches the floor. Also, ensure that the right thigh is parallel to the floor and makes a 90-degree angle with the torso.
Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position. Repeat the same motion on the other side to complete one rep.
Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.
Important tip: Avoid taking a huge first stride as it could unbalance the body.
