Similar to the squat, the lunge works the lower limbs of the body and the core, developing stability, strength, and power. Different from squats, lunges involve our feet being in a unilateral, staggered stance, mimicking fundamental functional movements we make as part of our daily living, such as walking, running, skipping, jumping, and climbing stairs. When it comes to lunges, a real fine place to start is the reverse lunge. So, if you want to walk a little straighter, run a little longer, skip a little higher, jump a little farther, and climb stairs a little easier, watch this video and master this move! Then, get ready to put even more spring in your step as I cover forward lunges, weighted lunges, and plyometric lunges in future videos.
