Walking Lunges

Type: Legs

Lunges are a great exercise for strengthening and toning the thighs and buttocks. The walking lunge increases the intensity by adding a CV element into the exercises. It helps to promote good balance and coordination and can be performed without the need for specialist equipment.

Level :

Beginner

Equipment : No

	Buttocks
	Calves Hamstrings Thighs

Walking Lunges Steps:

Step 1:

Make sure you have sufficient space in front of you to perform at least 10 steps.

Step 2:

Stand upright, hands by your side or on hips, feet slightly wider than shoulder width and toes pointing forwards.

Step 3:

Step forward and drop down so that the leading knee is roughly at right angles (bent at 90 deg).

Step 4:

The trailing knee should avoid contact with the floor.

Step 5:

At the bottom of the move push back up and step forwards bringing the trailing leg to the front.

Step 6:

Keep the chest lifted, back straight and head looking forwards right the way through the movement.

Step 7:

Repeat the movement whilst travelling forwards for the desired number of steps.

Top Tip:

A shorter step forwards will place more emphasis on the front thighs (Quads), whilst a larger step places more emphasis on the buttocks (Glutes) and rear thigh (Hamstring).
