Walking Lunge

About the movement

A single-leg movement that builds balance, hip stability, and leg strength. Walking lunges hammer the quads and glutes one leg at a time.

How to do it

1. 1

   Stand tall holding dumbbells at your sides. Take a long step forward with one leg.

2. 2

   Lower your back knee toward the floor until both knees form 90 degree angles.

3. 3

   Keep your front knee over your ankle and your torso upright.

4. 4

   Push through your front heel to step forward into the next lunge.

Form tips

• •Take a big enough step so your front knee does not shoot past your toes.
• •Keep your chest up and look forward, not down at your feet.
• •Control the descent; do not drop your back knee to the floor hard.
