Those walking lunges!!!

[tnwalker01]

I decided to do the walking lunges yesterday before I left work. Our clinic has a circular hall and I thought it would be perfect to do the lunges in a continuous manner. Whew, well!!!!!! I could only do 200, that's 100 per leg and my legs were like jello when I walked to the car. I even stretched in my clinic room before I left for home and then I went home and did KPC to try and avoid any soreness. Well, it didn't help, I am barely able to move today. That suggestion from Cathe to do those walking lunges was very helpful. I feel the soreness in my quads and hamstring and buttocks areas, I'm going to try them again today and do them at least 4 times a week to help lean out my legs. I have what I call a fat pocket right on the inside of my inner thighs and plenty of padding on my butt. I already workout with Cathe 6 times a week.
Sooooooo, if any of you want to try something like this, I can assure you it works those legs.

Hi Melissa! Thanks for the feedback on those walking lunges. I also need to lean out every last bit of my lower body. Did Cathe make any recommendations on doing the walking lunges if you have a limited amount of space? I was thinking about the park, but this time of year so many people are out, and they may look at me like I'm a nut.

Kim - LOL, that is my fear too. I've been doing them around my backyard and they ARE difficult. But, you really do feel them the next day.

Are you guys doing them with or without weights?

Kim,
Cathe did not say anything about a modification. I don't know much about linking to other threads, but if you'll look at May 20th entry called
Cathe-I need help toning my legs, she emails SheRa329 ( Ashley ) about this, it's a really good thread. I easily found it by going to the SEARCH and typing in walking lunges. I don't really see any way of getting around doing them anywhere but a large area, I don't know that it would be as effective if you did them in place. Sorry, but we all do look a little goofy doing these, ha ha. Maybe some of the other posters could help us out. Thanks for posting. See Ya!

I know this is so goofy looking. Well I did them at the school track the other day. People were probally looking at me in a strange way.

Yeah, and when you've done walking lunges and have some killer legs as results and you go to the beach in your bikini looking hot......... well, looking like a duck for a few minutes is totally worth that!!
