Static lunges are a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in the legs, particularly the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. To perform a static lunge, stand upright and take a step forward with one leg, lowering your body until both knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle. The back knee should hover just above the ground while the front knee remains aligned over the ankle. This exercise is typically done in a stationary position, meaning you hold the lunge for a few seconds before returning to the starting position. Static lunges can improve balance, stability, and overall leg strength, making them a valuable addition to any fitness routine.
