Bodyweight Lunge

Additional Information:

Variations:

  • Forward Lunges (current)
  • Reverse Lunges
  • Lateral Lunges
  • Jump Lunges - switch legs mid-air
  • There's so many variations out there. Just focus on the simple ones that you can do and feel better on the targetted areas/muscles

Ways to make it easier:

  • Focusing only on the Concentric or Eccentric phase
  • Decreasing the Range of Motion - partial reps, only go as far as you can handle
  • Holding onto something for support
  • Regressing to an easier variation/exercise

Ways to make it harder:

  • Playing with the Tempo & adding an Isometric phase (pause/hold)
  • keep your other leg on the front throughout the repititions
  • Adding resistance - wearing a weighted vest, or holding a dumbbell/barbell
  • Progressing to a harder variation/exercise
