Exercise Description

The bodyweight walking lunge builds strong quads while working your glutes and core. It also improves balance, coordination, and mimics real-world movement patterns.

How To

1. Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, hands on hips or at your sides 2. Step forward with your right foot into a long stride for the walking lunge 3. Lower your body until both knees form 90-degree angles, keeping your front knee over your ankle 4. Push through your front heel and bring your back foot forward to meet your front foot 5. Repeat the bodyweight walking lunge by stepping forward with your left foot and continue alternating

Form Tips

• Keep your torso upright throughout the entire bodyweight walking lunge movement • Take long enough steps so your front knee stays directly over your ankle • Lower your back knee toward the ground but don't let it touch • Drive through your front heel when stepping forward in the walking lunge to engage your glutes

Common Mistakes

• Stepping too short, which puts your knee past your toes in the bodyweight walking lunge • Leaning forward too much instead of keeping your chest up and core tight • Rushing through the bodyweight walking lunge instead of controlling each step and maintaining balance
