Instructions
1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart. If you're using weights, hold a dumbbell in each hand by your sides or place a barbell across your upper back.
2. Take a step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle. The thigh of your forward leg should be parallel to the ground, and the knee of your back leg should nearly touch the ground.
3. Keep your upper body straight and maintain balance. Avoid letting your front knee move beyond your toes.
4. Push up through the heel of your front foot and step forward, bringing your back leg to the starting position.
5. Continue forward, performing the lunge on the opposite leg.
6. Alternate legs with each step, moving forward in a walking motion.
7. Maintain a smooth, controlled movement throughout the exercise, and keep your core engaged.
Make sure to warm up before starting and stretch afterward to reduce the risk of injury. Adjust the difficulty by using weights or increasing repetitions and sets as you get stronger.
