Learn how to do one of the Most Popular and Best Leg Exercises that Works all the Major Leg Muscles
Welcome to our Lunges main page!
Here we’ve linked to all of our Leg Exercises that utilize this popular movement to work all your major leg muscles.
Each individual weight training exercises page includes pictures, exercise instructions, and tips on how to get the most out of these and other Leg Exercises so you can immediately add to your Leg Workouts and other weight training programs.
Why Lunges? For starters, it’s a Complete Lower Body Exercise
This compound movement primarily targets your quadriceps, but also work your glutes, hamstrings, calves, lower back, and hip abductors in some cases.
As mentioned on our Compound Exercises page, compound exercises such as these burn more calories and trigger the release of more muscle building testosterone than isolation leg exercises like Leg Extensions. Therefore, your Muscle Building Workouts and Fat Loss Workouts should be built around compound exercises.
In addition to being a complete lower body exercise, there are many variations of this weight training exercise, which we’ve shown below. Variety is important in all Weight Training Programs and Muscle Building Workouts and Fat Loss Workouts, should not remain static over time. Make sure to alternate the Quadriceps Exercises listed below in your workout routines to be most effective.
