Lunges and plantar fasciitis

Lunges are a great exercise for leg, ankle, foot and core strength.  They are also good for balance and posture.  It is important with lunges to use good form and to build up the number of repetitions gradually.  Foot placement is also very important to avoid over-stretching the bottom of the foot, which could lead to plantar fasciitis.  If you are unsure how to do lunges or if they are a good exercise for you, check with a physical therapist or another professional trained in exercise prescription.
