Forward Lunge
Step forward into a lunge and push back to where you started; the plain bodyweight lunge, legs alternating.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet hip-width, hands on the hips.
Steps
- Step forward and lower the back knee.
- Front shin near vertical, torso upright.
- Push off the front heel home; alternate.
Common mistakes
Front heel lifting on the landing: step longer and land heel first. Knee caving inward: track it over the middle toes. Shoving off the back foot: the front leg pushes you home.
Breathing
Inhale stepping in, exhale pushing back.
