Lunges
Vegan Fitness for Vibrant Living! Do you want strong, sexy legs? How about a firm butt? Make your legs beautiful with the Lunge The lunge is number one on our “Best Lower Body Exercises” list. It achieves this status because of how effective and portable it is. You can perform the lunge anywhere and anytime. In addition to making your legs look awesome by strengthening your glutes, thighs and calves, lunges will also strengthen your core and improve your balance. Not bad, eh? How to do a Stationary Lunge: Step one foot forward about 3 feet. Your weight should be almost evenly distributed between your front and back leg with a little more on the front. Be sure and keep the heel of your front foot on the floor and the heel of your back foot up. Depending on your ability you can balance yourself in this position or you could hang on to a chair or some other solid, stationary object. Now, lower your back knee towards the floor. Depending on your ability and strength lower it a few inches or almost all the way to the floor. Press yourself back up to standing and repeat. For a perfect lunge keep your chest up high so your back is straight and make sure at the bottom of the lunge your front knee is directly above your ankle. Variations • Pulsing Lunge- Just like a stationary lunge with a fast tempo. You get low and then pulse up and down on the same leg. • Traveling Lunges- Walking as you lunge • Side Lunges- Step your foot out to the side instead of to the front. Take Away Tip: Make exercise a part of your daily life. All you have to do is a little bit every day for a lifetime of fantastic results. Run faster, farther, longer, and achieve your weight loss goals faster with just two runs per week. Running workouts for your iPod/MP3 player can be enjoyed outdoors or on a treadmill.
