Lunge Variations For Leg Day

Upgrade Leg Day With These 5 Lunge Variations


It's a known fact: men hate leg day. Muscular legs just aren't as noticeable as a sporty upper body, so it's easy to put off working them until the summer workout scramble. If the reason you avoid it, however, isn't just because it's hard (the lower body contains the most muscles in the body, hence taking the most energy to work), but because you're tired of doing the same old squat over and over, we've got a fix for you.

Lunges are one of the most useful out there – they strengthen your lower body while also preparing for the activities of everyday life – like walking and climbing up stairs. "Lunges are functional exercises with tons of variations available," says David Sciacca, founder and instructor at live-virtual personal training platform LIFT Session. "And all formats engage the glutes, hamstrings and quads."

Here are five lunge exercise variations that we promise won't have you checking your phone between sets. Which, if you're skipping leg day, is exactly what you'll need.
