Start standing with feet together. Step forward into a lunge position, then rotate your torso to the side of the forward leg while maintaining the lunge position. Return to center, step forward with the opposite leg, and repeat the rotation. Continue alternating legs while walking forward.

Starting Position

Begin standing tall with feet together, arms at your sides, and core engaged to maintain stability throughout the movement.

Finishing Position

Complete the walking lunge sequence and return to standing position with feet together, maintaining good posture and balance.

Form Cues

Keep your core tight, maintain upright posture, rotate torso smoothly, step forward with control

Common Mistakes

Allowing the front knee to extend past toes, not maintaining core engagement, rushing the movement, poor balance

Progression Tips

Add weights, increase rotation range, perform on unstable surface, or add arm movements.

Regression Tips

Perform stationary lunges first, reduce rotation range, or hold onto support for balance.

Safety Notes

Ensure proper lunge form to avoid knee strain. Stop if you experience pain in the knees, hips, or lower back. Maintain control throughout the movement.
