Lunges are elemental leg exercises that your glutes and hamstrings love to hate. They also build knee and ankle stability, especially in this variation where a plyo element adds in extra cardio and intensity.
- Start in a lunge with your right foot forward, knee over ankle, and your left leg bent behind you, propped up on the ball of your left foot.
- Make sure your feet stay hip-width apart, like they are on railroad tracks.
- Jump up, bringing your feet together underneath your hips, standing straight up.
- Jump your feet into another lunge; this time your left foot will be forward. This completes one repetition.
- Repeat the process, switching the lead leg for three sets of 10 reps.
