Bodyweight lunge: how to do it

1 of 4

Hands on your hips, eyes forward

  1. Starting position

    Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, hands by your hips and eyes forward.

  2. The movement

    Step forward, lower your back knee toward the floor, then push through your front foot to return to standing.

Most common mistake

Don't take too short a step, step farther forward so your front heel stays down and your knee tracks over your toes.
