Reverse lunges are an excellent exercise to tone and strengthen your legs. Start by standing up straight. Step your left foot back and lower your body until both legs form a 90-degree angle. Then, push back up through your right foot to stand up straight again. Repeat on the other side. This exercise should be performed in three sets of 8-12 repetitions.
This exercise is great for improving your balance and coordination. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees and lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Then, hold the position for a few seconds before standing back up. This exercise should be done in three sets of 8-12 repetitions.
This exercise is great for building strength in your core and legs. Start by standing with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing outward. Bend your knees and lower your body until your hands reach the ground. Then, pull your body up by extending your arms and legs. This exercise should be done in three sets of 8-12 repetitions.
Our last exercise recommendation is great for strengthening your core muscles. Start by lying on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Then, curl your upper body towards your knees and hold the position for a few seconds. This exercise should be done in three sets of 20 repetitions.
