5 Effective Cardio Workouts At Home To Lose Fat And Build Muscle

#5 Plyometric Lunge

The plyometric lunge is an advanced variation of the standard lunge, which promotes heightened calorie burn along with enhanced targeting of the leg muscles.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with your feet positioned shoulder-width apart and place your arms on the side, parallel to the body.

Step 2: Take a step with your left leg such that the right knee touches the floor. Ensure that the left thigh is parallel to the floor and makes a 90-degree angle with the lower portion of the left leg.

Step 3: With a stationary torso, jump as high as you can and land in a lunge position but switch the position of the legs.

Step 4: Pause for a second and ready yourself to begin the next rep.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Beginners must avoid taking a huge first stride as it could unbalance their position.
