Static Lunges
Feet in a split stance; drop the back knee toward the floor and drive back up without stepping.
How to do it
Setup
Split stance, one foot forward, one back; torso upright, hands where they help balance.
Steps
- Drop the back knee straight down toward the floor.
- Stop just above it; both knees near 90°.
- Drive up through the front foot without stepping.
Common mistakes
Front knee diving past the toes: drop down, not forward. Torso tipping ahead: chest up, hips under the shoulders. Pushing off the back toes: the front leg does the work.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale as you drive up.
