Alternatives

• To modify the intensity, you can perform the exercise with no weights, with dumbbells in each hand, or with a barbell across your shoulders.
• If you have adequate space, perform walking lunges, crossing the length of your room while lunging with each step.
• Another alternative is lunging side to side instead of forward.
