A static strength exercise that builds stability and endurance by holding a lunge position for an extended period of time.
Step forward into a lunge position with one foot forward and the other back. Lower your body until both knees are bent at approximately 90 degrees. Hold this position while maintaining proper alignment and engaging your core and leg muscles. Keep your front knee aligned with your toes and your back knee hovering just above the ground.
Begin standing with feet together, then step forward into a lunge position with proper alignment and core engagement.
Maintain the lunge position with both knees bent at 90 degrees, body stable and muscles engaged throughout the hold.
Keep your core tight, maintain upright posture, hold the position steady, engage your leg muscles
Allowing the front knee to extend past toes, not maintaining core engagement, shifting weight unevenly, losing balance
Increase hold duration, add weights, perform on unstable surface, or add arm movements.
Reduce hold duration, hold onto support for balance, or perform partial lunge position.
Stop if you experience pain in the knees, hips, or lower back. Maintain proper form to avoid joint strain. Ensure good balance and control throughout the hold.
