Instructions
1. Stand straight with your feet hip-width apart. If you're using a weight (like a medicine ball), hold it in front of your chest with both hands.
2. Take a large step forward with one leg, bending your knee to lower your body into a lunge. Your front thigh should be parallel to the floor, and your back knee should be close to touching the ground. Ensure your front knee does not extend past your toes.
3. As you lunge, keep your core engaged and twist your upper body toward the side of the front leg. Keep the weight at chest level as you twist, if you're using one.
4. Return your upper body to the center and push up through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position.
5. Repeat the movement with the opposite leg and twist to the other side.
6. Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions.
Make sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent injury and maximize effectiveness. Always keep your movements controlled and deliberate, especially when adding weight to the twist.
