Lunge Sprint

What is Lunge Sprint? Lunge sprint is a high-intensity exercise that combines the lower body strength benefits of lunges with the cardiovascular benefits of sprinting. It is an advanced exercise that requires coordination, balance, and strength.

Tutorial

2. Take a big step forward with your right leg and lower your body until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle.
