Legs

D.B. Walking Lunge



While you almost exclusively see girls do this exercise, I can assure you they are a fantastic hip and thigh exercise that everyone should be doing. Begin motion with feet hip width and weights at side or hands on hips. Step out with one foot long enough to achieve 90 degree angles in both knees as you drop into the lunge. From here, you can either step with your back foot up to beside the front (into a ready stance) or step directly into the next lunge. I think it helps the form to have people lean back slightly as they step out - this tends to help clients finish with their chest up as they drop into the lunge instead of leaning forward.
