Stationary Lunges...which leg is supposed to be working???

[GirlyGymRat]

Hi! I started working out with weights a few months ago after losing 30 pounds thanks to some big time help in the diet forum. I then got brave and started lifting weights (I was initially focused on cardio to burn calories) and then lost another 5 and have been holding for the past 3 months.

Question on stationary lunges....which leg is supposed to be working...the forward leg or the rear leg. I have been doing these now and not really sure.

I have not found that too many people do these in the gym and wondering why???

Thx!!

Both legs are being worked with stationary lunges. I do these with a barbell every leg workout. I like to use the barbell because it works my core better than dumbells. They are a great compound movement.

I think she means at the time of the lung, the forward or back leg and like they said both are being worked but differently. The back on is mostly a stretch while the front is a press and of course it works your glutes really good.

Thx Guys! Both were working and I thought I was doing something incorrectly!!

I know pets are subjective, I was just wondering if any of you had suggestions about which would be better to train to use? Ill probably train both in the end, just cant decide which would be best to train and use first.

Thanks
