Lower Body Exercises: Lunges
  
Lunges build strength in your lower body as well as give you a great cardiovascular workout! You can do these standing in place by returning to where you are starting, or you can do them on your way to anywhere… lunge on your way to the refrigerator, to a colleague’s office, to your car. It’s a great way to squeeze in a mini workout for a couple of points any day of the week!
- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
- Inhale as you lunge forward with your left leg. Make sure your right knee does not touch the ground.
- Exhale as you push back to start. (If you are doing this as a walking lunge, instead of pushing back to start, stand up with your left leg and bring your right to meet it so you are standing again only a few feet further from your start.)
- Switch legs and do the same motion.
- Repeat until you can’t do any more!
- Inhale down, exhale up.
