Waddling like a duck might not be top of your agenda when you head to the gym, but did you know doing the duck walk has some serious benefits when it comes to strengthening your lower body? If you’re looking for new ways to target your glutes, quads, hamstrings, and hip flexor muscles, read on to find out more about this unusual move.
Remember, if you’re new to an exercise, or returning to exercise following an injury, it’s a good idea to get your form checked with a personal trainer to ensure you’re not putting yourself at risk of injury. If you feel any pain while practicing a duck walk, always stop. Practice squats, reverse lunges, lateral lunges, step-ups, and deadlifts to target the same muscles.
