In this video, I briefly discuss some of the unique benefits of lunges. First of all, they can be a great introduction to eccentric strength. Eccentric strength is important for a variety of tasks related to athletics and daily living. Moreover, the lunge can be a great introductory exercise to prepare you for things like plyometrics. The lunge also stretches and load the hip flexors, a muscle group that is often neglected in most training programs.
My favorite way to train the lunge is as a finisher after my upper body training. I will typically perform 100 total reps (each leg) either with BW, or with a weight vest, and seek to complete this in 7-10 minutes. This provides an incredible conditioning effect for the lower body, while simultaneously maintaining hip mobility, and lower body musculature. I will do this with nasal breathing only, as a way to increase the challenge.
