About This Exercise

Begin standing with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands on your hips.

1Setup

Begin standing with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands on your hips.

2Execution

Step forward with one leg, flexing the knees to drop your hips. Descend until your rear knee nearly touches the ground. Your posture should remain upright, and your front knee should stay above the front foot. Drive through the heel of your lead foot and extend both knees to raise yourself back up. Step forward with your rear foot, repeating the lunge on the opposite leg.

Pro Tips

  • Keep your torso upright throughout the movement; avoid leaning forward.
  • Initiate the upward movement by driving through the heel of your front foot.
  • Control the descent; don't let your knees collapse inward.
  • Engage your core to maintain balance and spinal stability.
