Side lunge
The side slits are another variant of the slots. They help shape the legs, lose weight, but also stretch your hamstrings and leg muscles.
- Begin in a standing position with feet shoulder-width apart and parallel.
- Take a big step to the side, lowering your body towards the mat, and doing a squat with your leg still static, arms extended in front of you, or bent in front of your chest.
- Keep the other leg extended and straight, with the toes firmly on the ground.
- Push on the straight leg to return to the starting position. Do three to four sets of eight to twelve repetitions on each side.
Tip: Make the exercise a little harder by adding a jump to your side lunges. Instead of coming back to the starting position and switching sides, try to jump high as you move from the left side to the right side and vice versa.
Having a toned and fit body is important to avoid future health problems.
