Benefits
Foam Roll Dumbbell Forward Lunge Benefits
Forward lunges primarily engage the main muscular groups in your legs, such as your quads, calves, and hamstrings, but they also work your abs, particularly the internal stabilizer muscles. They'll also activate your glute muscles, which means you'll have a toned butt in no time.
