Lunge forward

By Kashi Read more daily challenge, strength, toning up, and workouts
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

Lunges are a great move. Why? Not only do they use every major lower-body muscle group, they also test your balance and, therefore, core strength. Plus, nearly everyone can do them (with enough modification, such as limiting range of motion and bearing only your own body weight). Today, challenge yourself to do a set of stationary, Russian, weight-enhanced, or modified lunges to your workout. Note: It is always safest to check your form with a qualified professional. _Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine._

    I think I did a million lunges in my Cardio Mix class this morning… I hope my thighs will thank me by Labor Day!

    I do 80 lunges 3 times per week… 20 forward lunges, 20 reverse lunges and 20 side lunges per leg. It really is a great way to work your glutes, core and quads especially when you do the excercise correctly. Squats are also awesome for you bum…GOOD LUCK!

    I did 30 lunges my first time because it did not feel like I was doing anything. I was trying to achieve burnout since I would have two days rest. Wow! I sure did feel them the next day. I felt like I was hit by a car. Next time I will do about 2o and then work my way up.

    Lunges are a great way to find out where the muscles are in your mid section after you complete about three dozen.

    It wasn’t as difficult as it looked. I may have to give it another try tomorrow!
