How to do it

Swing your arms in opposition to your legs like a brisk walk.

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet together and arms by your sides.

  2. 2

    Step forward with one leg into a lunge, bending both knees to 90 degrees.

  3. 3

    Push off with your front foot to return to the starting position.

  4. 4

    Alternate legs and continue lunging forward at a brisk pace.

  5. 5

    Use your arms for balance and to increase the cardio intensity.

  6. 6

    Continue for the desired duration or number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Maintain a quick pace while ensuring your front knee does not extend past your toes during the lunge. This will help maintain proper form and prevent knee strain.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Letting the front knee collapse inward
  • ✕Leaning the torso excessively forward
  • ✕Taking too short a step for depth
