Parkour/Exercises/The Lunge

When done correctly, the Lunge will help to stretch the hamstrings and work out quads. Holding the stretch for fifteen seconds will increase effectiveness.

Steps

 * 1) Start in a karate-like stance, with one leg in front of the other and front shoulder facing forward.
 * 2) Squat down a small amount, bending your knees.
 * 3) Quickly move your front leg out in front of you and place it so you are almost in a split.
 * 4) Lean onto your front knee, placing pressure on it and stretching the back leg.
 * 5) Keep your body sideways and make sure your front knee is only at a right angle. Also keep your front foot facing straight and your back foot outwards.
