Lunge

Lunges are a versatile exercise that targets the lower body, especially the quads, glutes, and hamstrings. Common mistakes include overextending the knee past the toes and leaning too far forward. To avoid these, maintain a straight back and ensure your front knee aligns with your ankle. For beginners, start with static lunges before progressing to walking lunges. Advanced variations include adding weights or performing reverse lunges for additional challenge. Lunges improve balance and core stability, and can be adapted by adjusting step length or direction. Always ensure proper form to prevent injury.
