How to Do Traveling Lunges

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Sue Conrad and I'm going to be demonstrating how to do Traveling Lunges. Traveling lunges are an excellent exercise to help work the lower body. It works the quads, the gluts, hams, and the calves and it burns a lot of calories. So if you add that into your exercise regimen, you're going to help keep that lower body nice and fit. Okay. What you want to do, lift up your body in upright position, step forward into a lunge position and then this rear leg is going to follow ahead of this front leg. Some people call this Walking Lunges. So you want to maintain proper form, don't lose your form as you're walking. Make sure the knee doesn't go forward of the toe. You don't slouch forward, a lot of people might slouch forward, you want to stay in upright position. Imagine that you're going forward and down. It should be a nice fluid movement, but paying close attention to form and technique. And you can your hands by your side, you could use free weights for resistance, have your hands in your hips, whatever is most comfortable. And this is how you do Traveling Lunges."
