If You Can Do This Many Lunges After 55, Your Leg Strength Is Stronger Than 90% of Peers

If you’re a fan of performing lunges in your workout routine, you know they can be quite challenging. This single-leg movement involves much coordination, balance, and strength as you use one leg to support all your body weight. In fact, some gym enthusiasts find lunges harder to do than squats because of the one-sided, small muscle demands that lunges require. Unlike squats, lunges are an isolated workout—one leg at a time.

Well, we’re calling all lunge fans for a strength test. According to Joshua King, Personal Training Leader at Life Time Gainesville (Virginia), if you can do this many lunges after 55, your leg strength is stronger than 90% of your peers.
