EXERCISE STATION #2: Lower Body Strength - Squats & Lunges
Before you start, click here to review some important safety reminders.
Build powerful legs and glutes with fundamental bodyweight exercises.
ADULTS:
- Squats: Utilize open spaces or designated platforms. Keep your chest up and core engaged. Perform a set of 10-15 repetitions.
- Lunges: Great for unilateral leg strength and balance. Step forward or backward, ensuring your knee doesn't go past your toes. Aim for 1 set of 10-12 reps per leg.
CHILDREN: Walk like an elephant!
Put your arms together and hold your hands; pretend this is the elephant's trunk. Walk slowly, swing your "trunk" from side to side, and make elephant noises. How far can you walk while doing this?
