THE WALKING LUNGE

The Walking Lunge is a simple modification to the static lunge that will work the glutes, hamstrings and quads. You can perform the walking lunge with your hands on your hips or out to the side if you need the balance.

STEP 1 – With a set distance in front of you, stand up straight and upright, both feet together.
STEP 2 – Take a controlled step forward with one leg and make sure that you take a decent lunge or stride forward. Lower your hips towards the floor, bending both knees to almost 90 degrees.
STEP 3 – Push off with your other foot, bringing it forward to a starting position and continue though to create your walking lunge.
STEP 4 – Begin with 2-3 sets of 10-12 repetitions per leg. Adjust this based on your fitness level gradually increasing as your strength and endurance improve.

TIP – The back knee should never touch the ground, whilst the front knee should be directly over the ankle but not in front of your toe. Ensure both of your feet are always pointing forward.
