    Lunges were the devil to me when I first started. Every time I started them I would think about how much I hated them and I ended up channeling that in order to make it through them. Then one day I realized that they had gotten so much easier and I actually enjoyed them.

    The problem I have with lunges is that they pull the muscles in my feet which aggravates my heel spurs. Not fun. I've modified them a bit with a step stool. It doesn't have quite the same effect but I figure its better than nothing.

    You need to stretch your hamstrings.

    How does stretching my hamstrings keep lunges from pulling at the muscles in my feet? :huh: Anyway, there are plenty of exercises that work the legs and butt, lunges aren't necessary.

    Loose hamstrings are always good though.

    I want to find a body weight exericse routine that I can do at home to start to build muscle. Going to the gym isn't an option at this time and I don't have fancy equitment.

    I'm finding hundreds of body weight exercises, but I don't know which ones to put together I guess? Anyone know where I could get help with this - an app or website or something?

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned leanitup.com but they have some great routines. As well as pinterest :smile:
