Exercise

Legs

Lunge
Target: quads, hamstrings, glutes

This classic move requires both power and co-ordination, both of which are vital for sports.

Rest the bar on the back of your shoulders.
Stand with feet apart, looking forward, with your elbows back to retract your shoulder blades.
Keep your back upright and your core braced throughout.
Take a big step forward, continuing to look forward.
Keep your torso upright and don't send your front knee beyond your front foot.
Your front foot can be angled slightly inwards to ease pressure on the knee joint.
At the bottom of the move your back knee should almost touch the floor.
Push off your front foot to go back to the start.
