If you’re just starting out exercising or if you haven’t exercised for a while here is an easy leg workout to get you started. It’s based on the lunge exercise but this particular workout starts from the basics for the absolute beginner.
The lunge is an excellent exercise as it promotes strength, balance, and coordination. It also tightens your lower body as well as strengthening your abs and back.
Easy Leg Workout Routine
- Stand next to a tall backed chair with your feet hip-width apart.
- Place one hand on the back of the chair for support.
- Hold in your abs and keep a straight back.
- Take a large step forward with your left leg.
- Your left knee should be above your left foot but not going past the toes.
- Your right knee will have a slight bend in it and your right heel will come slightly off the floor.
- Pause here for three breathes.
- Return your left foot back to your right foot and pause for one breath.
- Repeat the same movement with your right foot forward, pausing for three breathes on the lunge.
- Repeat this movement with both legs another seven times so you have done the exercise eight times with each leg – this is one set.
- Rest for one minute then do one more set.
Tip: Move slowly when you go forward but quickly when you go back.
