How to do it
Lower slowly for two counts before pressing back up each rep.
- 1
Stand tall with your feet together.
- 2
Step forward with one leg, lowering your hips to drop your back knee toward the ground.
- 3
Your front thigh should be parallel to the ground, and your back knee should be close to touching it.
- 4
Press through your front heel to stand and bring your back foot forward into the next lunge.
- 5
Continue walking forward, alternating legs with each step.
Expert tip
Keep your torso upright and your core engaged. Ensure your front knee does not extend past your toes to protect your joints.
