Pro Tip

Maintain a comfortable stride length to avoid overstretching or straining your muscles. **Balance**: Maintain your balance by keeping your weight evenly distributed between both feet. Do not lean too much on the front foot or the back foot. This is a common mistake that can lead to injury. **Controlled Movement**: Avoid rapid or jerky movements. Lower your body into the lunge position in a controlled manner and push back up to the starting position with power. This will ensure you are working your muscles effectively and not relying on momentum. **Use Appropriate Weight**: Select
