Instructions
1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart. You may choose to hold dumbbells at your sides for added resistance.
2. Take a step forward with your right leg, keeping your spine straight and shoulders back.
3. Bend your knees to lower your body until your right thigh is parallel to the ground and your right shin is vertical. Your left knee should gently touch or hover just above the ground. Your front knee should be in line with your ankle.
4. Keep your torso upright and core engaged throughout the movement.
5. Hold the lunge position for a specific duration or as long as you can maintain good form.
6. Return to the starting position by pushing through the heel of your right foot to stand up.
7. Switch legs and repeat the same process with the left leg forward.
8. Perform an equal number of repetitions on each leg to maintain balance in muscle development.
Remember to breathe steadily throughout the exercise, and make sure to warm up beforehand to prepare your muscles for the workout. If you're new to lunges, start without weights and focus on form before adding weights for progression.
