#3 Forward Lunge
The forward lunge is an extremely effective bodyweight exercise that targets a host of muscles of in the lower body, including the quads, hamstrings, glutes and the calf muscles. Moreover, with its simple motion, the exercise could even be performed by beginners and casual trainers.
Instructions:
Step 1: Stand straight with your feet placed shoulder-width apart and place your arms on the side, parallel to the body.
Step 2: With a stationary upper body, take a step forward using your right leg such that the left knee touches the floor. The right thigh must be perpendicular to the torso and parallel to the floor.
Step 3: Pause for a moment and return to the initial position. Repeat the same motion with the other leg to complete one rep.
Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
Important tip: Beginners must avoid taking a giant step as it could unbalance the body.
