Lunges are a cornerstone of healthy aging - building lower-body strength, improving balance, and supporting joint health.

This episode is the third in our twenty-part series, Move for Life, exploring the intersection of longevity, strength training and movement. Miami-based fitness coaches Shebah Carfagna and Nate Wilkins contrast front, back, and side lunges, explaining how each targets different muscle groups and mimics gait to enhance functional movement.

Shebah underscores posture, pelvic floor engagement, and proprioception as critical factors in reducing chronic pain and preventing falls, while Nate connects lunge training to real-world demands, from pickleball to travel, arguing that balance and foot placement are non-negotiable for injury prevention.

We also discuss how integrating short, accessible sessions into everyday life - at home, in gyms, or even at airports - support longevity.

You should seek medical advice before embarking on a new exercise.
