    I'd rather do thirty lunges than 10 crunches.

    Weighted step ups.

    ^These are great! The leg press idea is a good one and you could also try rear lunges. I know it's still a lunge, but I prefer rear (reverse) lunges over front lunges.

    Hating an exercise probably means you need or should be doing it. :) Keeping with the theme of a unilateral exercise replacement, I would say that Bulgarian Split Squats are about the best replacement for Lunges. If you're doing some Back Squats and doing them right, honestly you could probably sub Lunges with a Leg / Squat Press or Hack Squat.

    Ugh....I dont wanna hear this :::lalalalala::: LOL

    Ha, I hear ya'. I hate walking lunges too, I don't do them, but should be doing them for sure.

    I may join a gym just so I can do Hack squats again. LOVE those!

    Squats >>>>>! Lunges.

    Why waste time on lunges, when you can do more squats? Get heavier weights and keep squatting.

    if you cant push, pull, squat, lunge, bend, twist, and gait properly, you're a dysfunctional human being.

    I am not a fan of lunges but I do reverse lunges because you don't have to go very deep and also Bulgarian Splits which I do really like. You can gradually add weights with either.
