La Lunges

Lunges are an important part of the exercise arsenal, but, sadly, they are one of the exercises I see people use bad form with most often. Knees are precious, people, let's keep it safe out there!

For a basic lunge one foot should be a big step in front of the other. Lower yourself to the floor by bending both knees, back heel comes off of the floor, straight down towards the ground. The front knee should NOT go out past your toes. Keep it lined up above the ankle. Try to get both knees bent in 90-degree angles, but make sure to get that back knee as low as you can. Straighten your legs back up, that's one rep.

Lunges take care of business pretty much all over your legs and get the butt, too, so learn 'em, live 'em, love 'em. Til it burns, then do a set with the other leg in front.
