The title of this post may be a bit misleading. You probably think I’m going to list the benefits of the lunge and all the reasons you should do them. Instead I am simply going to answer the question that I posted on Facebook. That question was: Which lunge is better? Lunge with a straight back or with a lean forward?
Most chose the lunge with a straight back but the answer is both! Each form serves a specific purpose and targets key muscles. Lunges are one of the most effective lower body exercises to help develop butt and leg strength. They’re also great for stretching the hip flexors, challenging your balance, and getting your heart rate up. Check out the video for more information on what you accomplish with each lunge and the muscles targeted. Then TRY IT!
