Step one big step forward and bend both knees, then stand back up.
Lunge
How to do it
- One big step, then straight down, not forward.
- Back knee gently towards the floor.
- Stand tall before you swap legs.
- Nothing at all
- A room you can take three steps across.
Watch out for this
Make it fit you
The right version is the hardest one you can still do properly. That is not a kindness, it is how this works.
Easier
- Chair stand
- Hold a wall or a chair with one hand.
Harder
- Step forward and keep walking: a walking lunge.
Can't jump? Step, don't hop, between legs.
