Instructions
Instructions for the Hip Lunge:
1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. If using weights, hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides or position a barbell across your upper back.
2. Take a large step forward with one foot, keeping your torso upright and your core engaged.
3. Lower your body towards the ground by bending both knees. Your front thigh should be parallel to the ground and your back knee should come close to the floor without touching it.
4. Ensure that your front knee does not extend past your toes and keep your weight mainly on your front heel.
5. Push through your front heel to raise your body back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps before switching legs.
Perform the exercise with controlled movements, and ensure proper form to maximize its effectiveness and prevent injury. Adjust the number of sets and reps to match your fitness level and goals. If you are a beginner, try performing the exercise without weights first, and as you progress, you can add weights for additional resistance.
