Most serious training athletes know about the benefits of lunges. They can be performed forward and backwards, either stepping to the front and then with feet back together, or stepping to the rear, then with feet back together again.
Lunges can also be done over a certain distance by stepping forward or backwards continuously for a set distance.
Lunges are great for athletes, especially walking lunges, because they work hips, hamstrings, quads and glutes.
Side Lunges are the often forgotten lunges. They add another element to the lunge factor by having the athlete step to the side. YES, you still work hips, glutes, hams and quads, but at a different angle--to the side.
Try it with with moderate weights first, with about 3 sets of 8-10 reps per leg. Perform all reps of one leg before moving on to the next leg. Step out to the side, and back to your original position. Repeat.
