LUNGE FOR LEAN LEGS

May 2025

If you’re looking to target your entire lower body, you can’t beat a lunge for its core, bottom and leg-toning benefits

LUNGE FOR LEAN LEGS

Not only are lunges an effective exercise for targeting the legs and bottom, but they also engage and strengthen the core - all while getting your heart rate up and improving posture and coordination. Also known as a unilateral exercise, lunges work one side of the body at a time. This helps improve your stability, coordination and balance, which will aid with activities such as running. Another benefit to training one side of the body at a time is you can ensure both sides are getting an equal workout, rather than letting your stronger side do more of the work. Want in? Here's how to lunge like an expert.
