Forward Lunge

Here’s how to perform the forward lunge:

1. Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart, keeping your back straight and your shoulders relaxed.
2. Take a large step forward with one foot, keeping your front knee in line with your ankle and your back knee hovering just above the ground.
3. Lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the ground, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
4. Push back up through your front heel to return to the starting position.
5. Repeat with the other leg, alternating between legs for the desired number of repetitions.

Here are some tips for performing the forward lunge:

• Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise to prevent injury.
• Avoid leaning forward or backward, and keep your weight evenly distributed between both legs.
• Use a controlled movement, rather than rushing through the exercise.
• Keep your front knee in line with your ankle to prevent your knee from extending past your toes.
• Breathe in as you step forward, lower your body, and exhale as you push back up to the starting position.
• Start with a smaller range of motion and work your way up to a deeper lunge as you become more comfortable with the movement.

Here are some benefits of performing the forward lunge:

• Improved lower body strength: The exercise targets the major muscle groups in the lower body, helping to improve overall strength and muscle tone.
• Increased muscle endurance: The forward lunge can help improve muscle endurance, making it beneficial for activities such as running and cycling.
• Improved balance and stability: The exercise requires balance and stability, making it beneficial for improving overall balance and coordination.
• Convenience: The exercise can be done with just bodyweight, making it a convenient option for strength training at home or on the go.
• Variety in workout routine: The exercise can be varied by adding weights or adjusting the range of motion, providing variety in your workout routine.
