Here’s a different way to do lunges.  Start by grabbing a barbell without any added weight.  Hold the bar up with your shoulders and your arms.  It should rest across your shoulders, behind your head.  Stand with your feet a few inches apart.  Your abs should be clenched as you perform each movement.  Now step out and to the right with your right foot and bend at the knees until your right thigh is parallel to the ground.  Repeat the movement for 2 sets of 5 on each leg.

Here’s an exercise that you can do to help strengthen your leg muscles.  Start by picking up a light weight body bar.  Place it behind your head, holding it up by your shoulders and your arms.  Stand facing your workout bench.   Clench your abs as you step up on the bench, placing one foot at a time on its surface.  Now step down in the same order that you used to step up.  Repeat for 2 sets of 5 repetitions on each leg.

Try performing a wide grip high row using a barbell.  Begin by placing your hands about 4-6 ft. apart on the barbell.  Squeeze your abs as you lift the bar.  Your feet should be 2 ft. apart and your knees should be slightly bent.  Lift the bar up to the level of your chest.  Keep your arms close to your body throughout the exercise.  Now lower it again and repeat the motion for 2 sets of 10 repetitions.
