How to do it

Brace your core tightly throughout the entire lunge repetition.

  1. 1

    Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a bottle in each hand at your sides.

  2. 2

    Step backward with one foot and lower your hips until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle.

  3. 3

    The back knee should hover just above the floor, and the front thigh should be parallel to the floor.

  4. 4

    Push through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.

  5. 5

    Alternate legs with each repetition.

Expert tip

Control the descent of the lunge to avoid any jarring impact on the knee of your back leg.
