Equipment
Take a big step to the right with your right foot, keeping your toes pointed straight ahead and your left foot firmly in place.
Bend your right knee and push your hips back as if you were sitting into a chair on your right side. Your left leg should remain straight.
Hold the position for a few seconds, keeping your chest upright and your weight in your right heel.
Push off your right foot to return to the starting position, then repeat on the other side for a balanced workout.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: A common mistake is to rush through the movement. Make sure to perform the exercise slowly and with control. This not only ensures that you are working the right muscles, but also reduces the risk of injury. Keep your Chest Up: Another common mistake is to let your chest drop towards the ground during the lunge. Instead, keep your chest up and your spine neutral. This will help engage your core and maintain balance. Don't Overextend: It's important not to overextend your leg
