Lunges

Lunges: Stand up straight with your feet slightly apart and your abdominal muscles tightened. Take a large step forward with your right foot, while bending both of your knees. Keep your right foot flat while your left knee is pointing towards the floor. It's very important that the knee of your forward leg is over your foot, not in front of it. Pause for a moment and then push back with your right leg, raising yourself upright again. Do this 10-15 times and then repeat the exercise with your left leg in front of you. If you have difficulty balancing, you can always hold onto a chair by your side with one hand for support.
