While there are several great ways to stretch and exercise on your own, sometimes there are muscle groups and exercises that require a partner. Great two-for-one exercises are lunges with a partner. One of you stretches their legs while the other acts as a support for balance, then you return the favor while your partner stretches. It’s a great way to work on your leg muscles. Read on to learn how to do lunge partner exercises.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A physically fit partner
  1. Step 1

    Face your partner with enough space in between so as not to run into each other while lunging. Grasp each other’s hands with arms raised to chest level.

  2. Step 2

    Step forward with your right leg, keeping your left planted behind you. Your partner will move his left leg back to clear room for you to move.

  3. Step 3

    Bend your extended knee until your left knee is almost touching the ground. Your partner will maintain your balance while you are extended, he will move along with you to provide enough space.

  4. Step 4

    Hold this position for 10 to 20 seconds, allowing for the muscles in your right leg to stretch.

  5. Step 5

    Raise your body up with the help of your partner and move your right leg back to its original position.

  6. Step 6

    Reverse your responsibilities this time and allow your partner to lunge forward while you keep his balance and allow him to fully stretch. Hold his balance and allow your partner to return to his original position.

  7. Step 7

    Step using the opposite leg and repeat Step 2 through Step 6 using this leg. Repeat as many times as necessary.

Tips & Warnings
  • A few practice runs may be necessary if this is you or your partner’s first attempt at lunge exercises.
  • Go slowly and communicate in order to achieve maximum stretching
  • This is a strenuous exercise and you are responsible for your partner's safety, be certain you and your partner are physically able to balance each other's weight.
