Lunges are an amazing exercise that can be used to prevent injury, strengthen your hamstrings and quadriceps, improve core stability, and improve your tennis game! Since many of our FiT Athletes are tennis players, we want to introduce a few lunge variations to help improve your speed and strength on the tennis court.
- The Basic Body Weight Lunge - begin with this lunge first, as it is the building block for the rest of our variations. Start with your feet together, and slowly lift your right or left foot forward. Keeping your abs engaged and shoulders back, slowly lower your body down towards the floor. Try to get your right thigh parallel with the floor, bent at a 90 degree angle. Make sure you push up through the front heel as you return to starting position. You may alternate legs. For a good warm up, perform walking bodyweight lunges to a cone and back.
