Walking Lunges

Use walking lunges as part of your dynamic warm-up or as a strength exercise.....walking lunges are great for adding muscular balance and dynamic balance to your lower body because you work one leg at a time and you can't "cheat."



You also need adequate core strength to keep your body upright during the walk. Walking lunges also improve your speed because you use the same pathways it takes to run fast.

When you do the walking lunge, don't let your front knee go past your foot and don't let your back knee touch the ground on the descent. Also, don't let the front thigh go past parallel to the ground.

Include this staple exercise in your workouts!
