Exercise Profile

Ankle Lunge Overview

The ankle lunge workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps.

By placing one foot on an elevated surface and lunging forward, the quads are engaged and strengthened.

While other muscles are involved, such as the glutes and hamstrings, the focus remains on the quads.
