Push off your right foot to return to the starting position.

Pro Tip

Engage Your Core: Engaging your core will help to stabilize your body and maintain your balance throughout the exercise. This can prevent unnecessary strain on your back and help you to perform the lunge more effectively. Avoid Leaning Forward: A common mistake is leaning too far forward or to the side during the lunge. This can put undue pressure on your knees and lead to injury. Keep your body upright and your gaze forward to avoid this. Controlled Movement: Avoid rushing through the movement. Each step should be deliberate and controlled. This will not only help to prevent injury but will also make the exercise more effective as it forces your muscles to work
