Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Take a step back with your right foot, bending both knees to lower your body into a lunge position.
Make sure your front knee is directly above your ankle and your back knee is pointing down towards the floor.
Push off your back foot and return to the starting position, keeping the kettlebell at shoulder height.
Repeat this motion for your desired number of repetitions, then switch the kettlebell to your left hand and repeat the exercise with your left leg stepping back.
Pro Tip
**Balance**: Balance is key to performing this exercise effectively. Avoid leaning too far forward or backward as this can strain your back and knees. Try to distribute your weight evenly between both legs and keep your core engaged for stability. **Controlled Movement**: It's important to perform the lunge in a slow and controlled manner. Rushing through the movement can lead to injury. Also, make sure to push through your front heel to return to the standing position, not your toes. This will ensure you're using your glutes
