Move of the week: forward lunge your way to better hip mobility and strength
By Chloe Gray
4 years ago
Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: forward lunges.
You’ll come across many iterations of lunging in your workout routine; lateral, reverse, jumping… but when it comes to building a functional body, there’s nothing quite like a classic forward lunge. The stepping motion not only builds strength through our most common movement but also focuses on strengthening, stretching and mobilising your hips: an area that doesn’t get a lot of love thanks to our sedentary lifestyles.
