lunge 150x150

This is a great exercise for strengthening the lower body – perfect for skiers.

Start by taking a step forward, and then without moving your feet, bring your back knee down to the floor. Come straight back up again without moving your feet. Do ten reps, then swap sides. This is a split squat.

Variation – do the lunge. Alternate legs, coming back up to standing in a neutral position between each rep. Work up to 5 sets of 20.
