Lunges are a fundamental lower body exercise where you step forward, backward, or sideways and lower your hips until both knees are bent at approximately 90 degrees. This unilateral movement builds strength and balance while correcting muscle imbalances between legs. Walking lunges add a cardiovascular element and increase calorie burn beyond stationary variations. Lunges are essential for developing functional leg strength used in everyday activities like climbing stairs and bending down.
