Walking Lunges | How to Perform Walking Lunges | Powerlift Pro App
Here’s how to perform walking lunges in five steps:
- Start Position: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, maintaining an upright posture and engaging your core for stability.
- Step Forward: Take a large step forward with your right leg, ensuring that your heel lands first. Your right foot should be positioned far enough in front that when you lower into the lunge, your knee forms a 90-degree angle.
- Descending Phase: Lower your body down by bending both knees simultaneously. Keep your torso upright and avoid leaning forward excessively. Aim to lower your back knee toward the ground while maintaining a strong and stable posture.
- Ascending Phase: Push through your front heel to drive yourself back up to the starting position. Use the strength of your front leg to rise up, extending both knees until you are standing tall.
- Repeat: After returning to the starting position, step forward with your left leg and repeat the same descending and ascending phases. Continue alternating legs and walking forward with each lunge.
Remember to focus on maintaining proper form throughout the exercise. Keep your upper body aligned, engage your core, and ensure that your knee doesn’t extend beyond your toes to avoid unnecessary strain. Gradually increase the number of repetitions and sets as you become more comfortable and stronger.
