Walking Lunge

Setup

Stand upright holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides with arms straight. Position your feet hip-width apart with core engaged and chest up.

How to do it

1. Step forward with one leg and lower your back knee toward the ground until both knees form roughly 90-degree angles.
2. Keep your front knee tracking over your toes without letting it collapse inward.
3. Push through your front heel to stand up and bring your back foot forward into the next lunge.
4. Maintain an upright torso throughout the movement without leaning forward.
5. Continue alternating legs as you walk forward with each step.

Watch out for

• ✗Taking steps that are too short, which prevents proper depth and muscle engagement.
• ✗Allowing the front knee to cave inward instead of staying aligned with the toes.
• ✗Leaning the torso too far forward instead of keeping the chest up and core braced.
