Band Lunge
Stand on the band with the front foot and hold the loop at the shoulders; the band pulls hardest as you drive back up to standing.
How to do it
Setup
Stand on the band with your front foot, the loop over the shoulders; feet a stride apart, torso tall.
Steps
- Lower the back knee toward the floor without letting it touch down.
- Drive up through the front heel – the band fights hardest at the top.
- Keep the front shin close to vertical, the knee tracking over the toes.
- Do every rep on one leg, then move the band under the other foot.
Common mistakes
Standing on the band with the back foot: it goes under the FRONT one, or there is nothing to lift. Front knee caving inward: push it out over the toes. Leaning forward to stand up; the chest stays tall the whole way.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
