Equipment

No equipment needed — bodyweight only.

How to do it

  1. Stand with feet about hip-width apart and hands on your hips.
  2. Step forward with one leg and lower until your back knee nearly touches the floor, keeping your body upright.
  3. Push through your front heel to rise, then bring your back leg forward into the next lunge.
  4. Keep walking and alternating legs so each side gets the same number of reps.

Do all reps on one side, then switch.

Beginner tip: Use a clear walkway and move slowly to keep your balance.
