I just had a killer strength training session with my training partner, Kyle Battis, and we filmed a video about one of the best exercises for your legs – the bodyweight lunge. We go over many different variations of this exercise, some of which you probably have not have seen before. So check it out, and make sure to check out the sample program below the video:
Bodyweight Lunge Exercise Variations
Sample Bodyweight Lunge Workout Routine
Perform lunges in your workouts twice per week.
Week 1:
A- perform 3 timed sets of reverse lunges, 30 seconds per leg – and 60 seconds of rest before starting each set
B- perform 4 sets of reverse lunges at 80% of your maximum exertion (stop when you think you can only do a few more reps, do NOT train to failure) – give yourself 30 seconds of rest between legs
Week 2:
A- perform 3 timed sets of forward lunges, 30 seconds per leg – and 60 seconds of rest before starting each set
B- perform 4 sets of walking lunges at 80% of your maximum exertion (stop when you think you can only do a few more reps, do NOT train to failure) – give yourself 30 seconds of rest between legs
Week 3:
A- perform 3 timed sets of walking lunges, 40 seconds per leg – and 60 seconds of rest before starting each set
B- perform a pyramid workout starting with 1 walking lunge/leg, 2 lunges/leg, 3, 4, 5, 6, (etc. until you reach your max), then progress down the pyramid – 6 lunges/leg, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Week 4:
