Walking Lunge

WALKING LUNGE -- Tightens your buns.

Stand chest out, head up.

Step left foot forward and slowly lunge. Your left thigh should be parallel with the floor, knee over your ankle, and your right knee nearly touching the floor.

Pull up to a stand, pressing your pelvis forward and squeezing your buns. Continue with your right foot, moving forward.

Hint: Remember to keep your knee from going over your toe.

Beginner: One set of 12-15 repetitions. Add additional sets as you advance.


ADVANCED WALKING LUNGE -- Tightens your buns.

For an advanced version of The Walking Lunge, you may hold weights in your hand. You may also perform "the hurdler's version," holding your knee up (thigh parallel to floor), extending your leg, then stepping down and following through.
