Balanced Betty
Lunges are an excellent exercise for strengthening and toning your legs. They work your quads, buttocks and hamstrings - the
wider you step, the more you will feel it in your buttocks and hamstrings.
Lunges
Start Position:
Stand with your legs slightly apart, both facing forwards. Place your hands on your hips for balance.
Exercise:
Inhale and, keeping your torso upright, step forward with your one leg. Bend the front knee and the back knee, ensuring the back knee doesn't
touch the ground. Exhale. Now step this leg back to the start position and repeat on the other side. Continue until you have done about 10 lunges
on each leg.
Variation:
Once you are doing 2 sets of 10 lunges on each leg and you feel it is getting too easy, you can increase the intensity by holding a dumbbell in each
hand.
