The Walking Lunge exercise is a dynamic lower body exercise that targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. It also helps improve balance, coordination, and stability.
How to perform
Here are step-by-step instructions for performing the Walking Lunge exercise:1. Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart and your arms resting at your sides.
2. Take a big step forward with your right foot, ensuring that your heel makes contact with the ground first.
3. Lower your body down until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Your front knee should be aligned with your ankle and your back knee should be hovering just above the ground.
4. Push off your right foot and bring your left foot forward to meet your right foot.
5. Repeat the movement with your left foot stepping forward this time.
6. Continue alternating legs as you lunge forward, taking big steps and maintaining good form throughout the exercise.
7. Aim for 10-12 lunges on each leg to complete one set.
8. To make the exercise more challenging, you can hold dumbbells in each hand or increase the range of motion by taking bigger steps.
9. Remember to keep your chest up, core engaged, and shoulders relaxed throughout the exercise to prevent any strain on your lower back.
10. Cool down and stretch your legs after completing your set to prevent muscle soreness and improve flexibility.
