Today, L is for “Lunges”

Lunges are an integral part of many a workout. Here’s how to make sure you keep good form:

• Start standing tall with feet hip-width apart. Engage your core and keep your chest up.
• Take a step forward with right leg. Start to shift your weight forward so heel hits the floor first.
• Lower your body until right thigh is parallel to the floor and right shin is vertical. It’s ok if knee shifts forward a little as long as it doesn’t go past right toe.
• Press into right heel to drive back up to starting position.
• Repeat on the other side
