I feel split squats in my knees. What cues would correct that?
its strange how many guys will laugh at you if you do this at the gym bcos they only know about lifting heavy weights but they tend to be the guys who dont like squats & deadliftsthey like to work upper body mostly.
Fabulous!! Enjoying and just starting your exercises!! Incorporating your gluten tension in with my leg day today! Thank-You!!
I feel like I just watched somebody compare apples to oranges without ever talking about how they taste or their nutritional content.

i always do reverse lunges, i find that regular front lunges kind of feel funny on my knees
i like to do stuff like this but it really is difficult to do it while wearing shoesbarefoot is best but my gym keeps giving me a hard time about it so i train late at night bcos the gym is open 24hrs & its quiet at night.
Can’t wait to have my knee surgery done so I can finally do exercises like these!
Best explanation ever. And encouraging for me with screaming knees.

HI this is good! i am using your you tube channel to keep me fit! LOL!! i am a 12 year old girl, but don’t underestimate me……..i am a professional track and feild athlete, and a professional gymanst…..AND MOREEEEEEEEEEEEE
You are the best, why not doing a video for lost weight, level beginner. Thank you. Gracias por tu trabajo.
I can’t get over how colorful her outfit is and how it all matches
Nice breakdown of the lunge and the split squat. I have been wondering for a while what the difference between the two was. Thank you!
I didn’t know what I was missing. Now I know what to add to my leg routine. Thanks for the tip, Popsugar!
I’ve been doing goblet squats and notice that my right hip is now hurting afterwards to the point where I can’t even run. Are these exercises better for someone with hip pain?
I never know lunges has variation before this.. I’m highly mesmerized after seeing this video. Thanks
What do you think about walking lunges with weights in each hand?
woweeeeee You give me a lots of good ideas for my workout thank you greetings from Firenze Italy Lol
Hi. I will be conducting online classes for my PE classes instead of face-to-face due to the coVid situation in my country. Would it be alright if I use your video as a resource link for my students to watch when I teach the lunges and split squats? I find your video very clear, detailed, with very good cues.
Wow Cori a complete summary about lunges and background music is so smooth thanks Coach!!!!
Brilliant and practical video, anybody can practice anywhere, don’t need to go to gym always. Thank you.
Wow Cory. Those are a lot of variations. I loved the burpee variations too, why not make a playlist for variations of all exercises? You are a .
Really a master on athletics. You’re a very good answer to those weightlifting addicts that athletic ability is also important.
thx the useful motions for my reference to the strenthen workout of barbell squat although that my purpose is just workout for useful muscle, not Fat Loss
I love it!! Don’t like to do these hops but doing the different Variations of Lunges whithout is, by the way, hard too!! Do them carefully and with accuracy (??) and they will fill the butt & legs with fire….
My legs are on fire just by watching lol. As a dancer, these exercises are spot on.
Thanks for the content! I’ve used the reverse X over lunges with my athletes and myself to target tight IT bands with more of a dynamic stretch and its worked well too
I really enjoyed these lunge variations, just as I did your plank variations. Do you have a video with squats variations? I’m learning such a lot through your videos. You rock! Greetings from Luxembourg
Thank you a lot! I’ve seen split lunges being confused with jumping lunges so many times on youtube, always thinking… that doesn’t make sense. Finally a good video on them.
I’ve seen that “get up” lunge before but didn’t know the name. But now I do. Thanks for the video
Love these! You’re a maverick at coming up with workout moves Which ones do ya think are best for least impact on the knees?
Thank you for this I am not a big fan of doing squats but I want to train my legs this is great thanks again
This morning i have fine this workout,hmmmmm something good something i have to learn better,merci ciao ciao lol
Nice video! Would you add the benefit of the lunges maybe below the names as they pop up? That’ll be so helpful to group them up into a routine! Thank you!
Ha! you thought i was here to learn new lunges. I’m enjoying the show! Front row seat with popcorn watching this fine man work
Marry me so I’ll always have a killer workout. You can bring the pooch, too
Thanks for this! I’m a newcomer to the fitness world so it’s great to have videos like this
Excellent video! Thanks so much. Keep it up, you will get a large following if you keep it consistent
Fantastically explained…I am now clear about the difference..
I would take a guess that when you were young you took dancing classes, probably for many years, ballet? You are not quite a body builder, as opposed to a gymnast.
That’s great! I’m finding some new lunge patterns. Thank you and your channel is great!
Hi, amazing exercices to add to work outs and mix it up. Thnx! One question: where do you have this song from, it’s really motivational:)
Always inspired by your moves, you make every move seem so easy, wonderful to watch and extremely motivating!
What does a pulse bring to an exercise and why would we want to add it instead of doing another rep?
I’m about to do all of this. Y’all please pray for me.loooooooool
Nice. I’ve been wondering about different lounges. Which specific lounge would you recommend from past knee injuries?
If I can notice these are ballet movements.. amazing. Ballet and fight…
Thanks for sharing this detailed video, i will put it in my post-op rehab exercise list. Thanks a lot!
Tienes la fuerza de un deportista olímpico, la gracia y elasticidad de un Yogui y la musculatura de las pesas sin esteroides, eres el fitness PERFECTO
I’m brazilian… Você é o melhor que já vi, parabéns pela sua competência.
if i only have enough space to program either a back squat or barbell lunges, which is more optimal for running athletes? i’m guessing the lunges?
I”ve got a bachelors in human kinetics (kinesiology) and I love your videos. Informative and straight to the point. Keep up the great work Vahva!
I did all of these lunges yesterday, 8 reps for each leg. Now, I am feeling my butts!
Love these Cori! I am doing these tonight at the gym! Yay! One variation I didn’t see you do was lunge to the front, side,back, other side and then a squat. I do those sometimes with the TRX to add arm motion too. I don”t remember what it is called but you lunge in every direction and do a squat to complete the rep.
I know this may be an awkward question but… what size of jeans do you wear, Vahva?
I did this whole routine 3 times in my hotel room. Awesome. Lower body is super sore. More please!
Could you post a routine with lower leg variations on the floor?
Sempre maravilhosos exercícios físicos!
Motivadores!
Sempre agradecida
Knee problems pls don’t attempt.
Especially the jump lunge!
I really love to incorporate allot of your ideas into my workout do you do HEAVY leg workout with weight or just body weight
Do you have an opinion about doing the basic kind of split squat vs the Bulgarian split squat? Are they similar enough to do either, or do you prefer one over the other?
My legs are already beginning to feel sore just from watching you do these
So basically it is not possible to alternate legs when doing a split squat?
I hate lunges but they are great for legs no pain no gain:)
I see that your back leg knee touch the floor….why do you do that….is it better
How to incorporate all these variations in a routine? One set til failure for each? Just no idea.
Did these for the first time 2 days ago. I haven’t been so sore in a long time. Got to do them again soon and conquer them
I love it!! Don’t like to do these hops but doing the different Variations of Lunges whithout is, by the way, hard too!! Do them carefully and with accuracy (??) and they will fill the butt & legs with fire….
Hello, awsome, very good drills, we do some of them in or next trainings, there´re very inspirationa!!!
Nice Anna! Thought you were going to add #16…curtsy lunge with a hop:)
Is the split squat better for those with long legs and a short torso?
How much weight should you be using for this if you don’t mind me asking? also how heavy were the dumbells in this video?

Lunges burn thigh fat or bulk up muscles and make thighs look bigger?

i know theres a bunch of videos out there but you put always something special in yours:D
Thank you for watching! You can learn the benefits and find instructions in this blog post ➞ http://bit.ly/lungevariations
Those fencing lunges would it be better if you did them with a yoga perspective? For example the move is pretty much warrior two so wouldn’t you use the proper form for that in the lunge?
