#3 Forward Lunge
Lunges target the hips and glutes along with activating the quads and hamstrings in the thighs. The exercise is ideal for even beginners and casual trainers, thanks to its simple motion.
Instructions:
Step 1: Stand straight with feet positioned hip-width apart. Hold the hips with your hands or place the hands on the side such that they are parallel to the body.
Step 2: Take a step forward using your left leg. Bend both the knees such that the right knee touches the floor and the left thigh is parallel to 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 tips: Perform this exercise while holding dumbbells for variable resistance. Avoid taking a large step as it could force you to lose your balance.
