Hence forward lunges exercise is a combo of three in one i.e. legs, hips and butt. Forward lunges are also practiced by pregnant women for remaining fit. So here’s how the exercise is practiced.

 

• Start the exercise with an initial position of standing erect.
• Now depart both your legs for about 2 inches apart. Don’t separate your feet too much.
• Keep both your hands on you waist as shown in the figure.

• Step right leg forward with the left leg slightly raised on the toe.
• Inhale while practicing this position.

• Bend your right leg ninety degrees like that in a squat position.
• While you bend your right leg ninety degrees your left leg will automatically bend to the same ninety degree angle.
• Make sure that during all the above steps you continue inhaling.
• Hold this position for a few seconds.

• Straighten both the legs in the same position i.e. stand up from the ninety degrees back in position as in figure 2.
• Exhale while coming to this position.

 

• Now come again to the start position.
• Practice the exercise again with the left leg stepping forward.
• While practicing the exercise keep your spine upright throughout.
