Squats, lunges and legs
Walking lunge
Muscles worked: Quads · glutes · hamstrings · trunk
How to do it
- Set up. Stand tall with a clear path ahead and your feet about hip-width apart. Brace gently for balance.
- Move. Step forward and bend both knees under control. Keep the front foot flat and your torso steady.
- Finish. Push through the front foot, bring the back leg through and step into the next lunge. Alternate sides without rushing.
Common mistakes
- Steps so short that the front heel lifts.
- Front knee collapsing inwards.
- Pushing off the back foot so hard you lose balance. Slow down and use a wall if needed.
