01 Steps

  1. 1 Stand in a clear space of at least 15 feet.
  2. 2 Take a large step forward and lower into a lunge until both knees are at 90°.
  3. 3 Instead of stepping back, push through the front heel and bring the back foot forward directly into the next step.
  4. 4 Chain the lunges by walking forward continuously in a low position.
  5. 5 Keep your torso upright and abs engaged throughout the walk.

02 Tips

  • Start slowly to find your rhythm and balance.
  • If short on space, do laps back and forth.
  • Look ahead, not at your feet — your balance will improve.

03 Common mistakes

  • Rushing: the quality of each lunge matters more than speed.
  • Losing posture while advancing: reset your position if you wobble.
  • Steps too short: each step should be long enough to reach 90° at both knees.

04 If you struggle

  • Do static forward lunges (return to starting position each rep).
  • Walk more slowly with a complete stop between each step.
  • Reduce the range of motion by not going as deep.
