Attack Lunges From Every Angle

Lunges hits your entire leg muscles which includes the stabilizers and calves, you should definitely include them in your workouts. The most important is keeping your torso upright, head in neutral so that your quads feel the full affect of the movement. Tighten your core muscle to help stabilize the forward and on the reverse lunge. On the reverse lunge remember that the back knee doesn't touch the floor during the movement. Side lunges can be very intense when performed in a squat position, while holding a weight plate thus maintaining continuous tension on the muscles. Recommended 3 to 4 sets 8x10 steps in each direction.
