How to do it

Keep your rear knee tracking directly under your hip as you pulse.

  1. 1

    Start in a staggered stance with one foot in front of the other.

  2. 2

    Lower into a lunge position until both knees are bent at 90 degrees.

  3. 3

    Pulse up and down by slightly raising and lowering your body.

  4. 4

    Keep the movement small and controlled.

  5. 5

    After completing the set on one side, switch legs and repeat.

Expert tip

Maintain a tall posture throughout the movement and avoid leaning forward to keep the focus on your glutes and quads.
