Lunges are a unilateral exercise that work each side of your body independently causing your body to be less stable and thus, forcing the spine and core muscles to work extra hard which improves the balance, stability and coordination of the body. They also build muscles and reduce the body fat by working some large muscle groups in the lower body like the calves, hamstrings and glutes.
