the strides

Strides, or lunges, as they are also known, are an exercise through which you work the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings (muscles found below the buttocks), and help strengthen the abdomen.

Standing with your hands resting on your waist and your legs slightly apart at the same distance from your shoulders, take a step forward, keeping your torso straight. The step taken should not be very wide, just enough for the leg to move forward; the leading foot should be flat on the ground and the trailing leg should be bent until the toe touches the ground slightly. We exhale and return to the starting position and change sides.
