Lunges exercise have so many variations and every each of them is great to build the lower body. The primary muscles affected are quadriceps in the front of your thigh, gluteus maximus in your buttocks, adductor magnus in your inner thigh, and soleus in your calf. With this exercise also you will improve your balance and self-concentration.

As you plant your right foot, bend both knees to approximately 90 degrees, ensuring that your weight is evenly distributed between both legs. Extend both knees and transfer your weight completely onto your left foot. At the same time, lift up your right foot and bring your knee into your chest. Release your right leg and place it back on the floor behind you and bend both of your knees to 90 degrees.
