Side lunges can really elevate your workout routine.  Begin by standing straight up with your feet about five feet apart and your toes pointed forward.  Tighten your abs and bend your right leg, keeping your left leg straight.  Bend until your right thigh is parallel to the ground.  Now rise and bend your left leg while keeping your right leg straight.  Repeat the motion for 3 sets of 20 repetitions (10 on each leg).

The low pulsing lunge is a great way to tone your legs.  Begin by placing your right leg forward and your left leg backward.  Your legs should be about two feet apart and your abs should be tight throughout the entire exercise.  Now bend your knees and lower the weights until they almost touch the floor.  Push on your right heel to lift your body halfway and then lower your body and the weights again.  Repeat the movement for 3 sets of 10 repetitions to start.

The barbell lunge is a great way to intensify standard lunges.  Begin by holding a light barbell or body bar behind your head and across your shoulders.  Stand with your right leg forward and your left leg backward.  Your legs should be about four feet apart.  Keep your abs tight as you bend your legs to lower your body.  Make sure that your right knee does not extend over your right foot and that your right thigh is parallel to the floor.  Now straighten your legs to come to a standing position.  Repeat the movement for 3 sets of 10 repetitions to start.
