These Exercises Require Few Props and Build Strength, Balance, and Flexibility

1 Walking lunge and Rotation

Stand up straight, arms extended above head. Step forward with one leg, knee bent to about 90 degrees, and bring back leg almost to the floor. As you step, rotate your trunk and upper body in same direction as the step. Return to neutral position, then step, lunge, and rotate to the opposite side. This works the trunk and legs -- specifically quadriceps, hamstrings, and gluteals. Do two sets of 20 to 30 repetitions, keeping front knee in line with your front foot and upper body as erect as possible.
