Leg Lunges

This exercise is a very effective way to firm, shape, tone, build and increase muscular endurance for the legs. For those, like me, that walk for your main form of exercise, this is a great way to strengthen your leg muscles. To perform this exercise correctly:

·        Stand with your feet together in a normal, balanced position.

·        Keep your hands at you sides or on your hips.

·        Lunge forward with your left leg, about 2 feet out in front of you, and squat as far down as you can. The optimal is to reach a 90 degree angle with both legs but just stretch as far as you can.

·        Return the left leg back to the original position.

·        Now lunge with your right leg.

·        Complete 3 sets of 20 repetitions.
