Hints:
To gain maximum benefit
from forward lunges and to avoid injuries, position your body carefully when
performing the exercise. Keep your back straight and avoid leaning forward as
you lower your body. Align your shoulders with your hips throughout the
exercise, and keep your head up and facing forward. Maintain your forward knee
over your ankle as you lower your back knee toward the floor; avoid extending the
knee of your forward leg past your ankle. If you feel wobbly, use a chair or
the wall to steady yourself when you practice lunges.
Gadgets:
FitBit:
FitBit is a physical activity tracker designed to help you become more active,
eat a more well-rounded diet,sleep better and ultimately, turn you into a healthier
human being.
FitBit logs a range of
data about your activities, including the number of steps you take, distance
traversed and caloriesburned. It's also sensitive enough to detect just
how vigorous your motions are, which differentiates a slow stroll from a jog
that consumes far more calories.
At night, you slip the
FitBit into a wristband so it can monitor your sleep quality. It knows when you
go to bed, how frequently you awaken and how long you lie prostrate, staring at
the ceiling, pondering unmet deadlines.
