Lunges

Revised 11/05/06

These are done with holding a dumbbell in each hand. Place your feet approximately shoulder width apart. Hold your head up straight and keep your back straight. Step forward with one foot and bend that leg down until the thigh is parallel to the floor (in other words, the knee should stop short a few inches from touching the floor). Some people then step forward with the other foot, so that they are thus moving forward with giant strides. Other people first step back in a reverse move before stepping out with the other foot.

Brian Napier demonstrates how to do them:
- [Starting position.]
- [Intermediate position.]
- [Ending position.]
- [Unedited unnarrated video clip.]
Brian said about the only way to do it wrong is to use too much weight.
(Brian is one of the workstudies at the Mueller. He also plays baseball.)
Other leg exercises.
Other butt exercises.
