If you’ve ever followed a fitness program that included leg exercises, you’ve almost certainly performed the lunge. It’s a staple of “leg day” and an admirably adaptable one, at that. I have found it to be an extremely effective move for building leg strength, but when my editor challenged me to do 50 walking lunges every day for a week, my first thought was, “But my home isn’t that big.” Of course, I could’ve simply left my house and done the move in a park, but the weather has been terrible and no one likes being laughed at that much. A beach would have been ideal, but I live many, many miles from the coast — and no one likes being laughed at that much. So I did the move at home, back and forth and back and forth, like a sentry who’s trying to liven up his day.
