Walking Lunge
Step 1
Holding a dumbbell in each hand, plant both feet on the floor shoulder-width apart. Gently draw your pubic bone to your belly button (engage pelvic floor). This is your starting position.
Step 2
Inhale. Take a big step forward with your left foot. As you plant your foot on the floor, bend both knees at approximately 90-degrees. This is called a lunge position. If done correctly, your front knee should be aligned with your ankle and your back knee should be hovering just off the floor.
Step 3
Exhale. Push through the heel of your left foot and toe of your right foot to extend both legs.
Step 4
Inhale. Transfer your weight onto your left foot and take a large step forward with your right foot. As you plant your right foot, bend both knees at approximately 90-degrees into lunge position.
Step 5
Exhale. Push through the heel of your right foot and toe of your left foot to extend both legs.
Step 6
Inhale. Transfer your weight onto your right foot. Continue alternating between left and right for the specified number of repetitions.
