Strong legs, strong runner!
The lunge is an easy-to-learn, safe, and incredibly effective exercise.
According to the American Council on Exercise, lunges are one of the most effective lower-body exercises and are right up there with squats, step-ups and quadruped and four-way hip extensions. They effectively work your glutes and quadriceps and also engage your hamstrings. Strengthening these large muscle groups can speed up your metabolism, which is beneficial if you’re trying to lose weight. When excess fat is reduced from your lower body, lunges can help you shape, tone and firm up your tush and legs.
A lunge can be performed using bodyweight alone.
