WHY YOU SHOULD DO FRONT LUNGE WITH RESISTANCE BANDS EXERCISE?
A Front Lunge is a very effective exercise to strengthen the lower body, especially the glutes and hamstrings. The exercise works by activating the muscles through the hip sockets (buttocks) and the glutes. You should perform the exercise with resistance bands while you hold the banded position while waiting for your muscles to burn out. This exercise is great for releasing tension in the back, hamstrings, and glutes. The resistance band helps to strengthen the muscles, and hold the band will assist in a full range of motion.
