Hierarchy of Midsection Training

One of the constants in fitness and strength training is that there are always new fads.

Use bodyweight lunges as part of your dynamic warm-up or as a strength exercise. Bodyweight lunges are great for adding muscular balance and dynamic balance to your lower body because you work one leg at a time (stronger leg can’t compensate for weaker leg).
