#5 Alternate Lunge
The alternate lunges target the hamstrings, quads and the calf muscles, making it a wonderful exercise to tone the lower body.
Instructions:
Step 1: Stand straight with feet planted shoulder-width apart. Place the arms on the hips or position them parallel to the body in a fully extended position.
Step 2: Take a step forward with your right leg and gradually lower your straight torso by bending both the knees. The right thigh should be parallel to the ground while the left knee should make contact with the floor.
Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position. Perform the same motion on the other side to complete one rep.
Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.
Important tip: Beginners must avoid taking a giant first leap as it could unbalance the body.
