1. Plyometric lunges - 4 essential exercises for men

1. Plyometric lunges


Works: Glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings 

A. Stand with feet together and arms by your sides. With your right foot, step forward into a low lunge so your right thigh is parallel to the floor and your left knee is bent and almost touching the floor.


B. Use both legs to powerfully leap up, and switch legs in the air so you land with your left thigh in front and parallel to the floor and your right knee bent behind you. Your arms should switch positions, too (as shown), to help maintain balance and momentum. This completes one repetition.

C. Continue to leap back and forth, switching leg and arm positions, for a total of 10 repetitions per side.

Tip: Keep your posture tall and abdominals tight. Ensure you absorb each landing on the mid-foot and heel of the front leg—the back leg is merely for balance.
