Warming Up Lunge

Positioning:

1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart.

2. Engage your core and ensure your shoulders are relaxed.

3. Take a step forward with your right foot, landing heel-first.

Movement:

1. As you step forward, bend both knees to lower your body into a lunge position.

• The right knee should be directly above the right ankle, forming a 90-degree angle.

• The left knee should lower toward the ground without touching it.

2. Keep your chest lifted and your back straight, avoiding leaning forward.

3. Hold the lunge position for a brief moment while feeling the stretch in your hips and thighs.

4. Push through your right heel to return to the starting position.

5. Repeat the movement by stepping forward with your left foot, lowering into the lunge with the same form.

6. Alternate lunges for a total of 8-10 repetitions on each leg, focusing on maintaining good form throughout.

Tips:

• Keep your weight centered over your front leg during the lunge.

• You can extend your arms out to the sides for balance if needed.

• Maintain a controlled movement to avoid straining your knees.
