WALKING LUNGE Stand comfortably with your feet shoulder width apart at a location of which you can move straight ahead, such as a hallway. Take a large step forward with one leg, keeping your back foot in starting position while rolling onto its toes. Your spine will be straight and your forward and back knees will be bent, so that you make right angles with your hip, knee, and ankle. As you lunge, you should feel a stretch across the front of the hip and thigh. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat 5 times.
