Walking lunges are a fantastic, functional exercise for building lower body strength and improving balance. They target the glutes, quads, hamstrings, and core—perfect for anyone looking to tone their legs and strengthen their posture!
First, stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and hands at your sides or on your hips for balance.
Then, take a step forward with your right foot, lowering your body until both knees are bent at 90 degrees.
Your back knee should hover just above the ground, and your front knee should be directly over your ankle.
Then, push through your right heel to return to the starting position.
Repeat with your left leg to complete one rep, typically performing 10-12 repetitions on each leg.
Trainer Tip
Keep your chest lifted and core engaged throughout the movement. Make sure to step far enough forward to keep your front knee aligned with your big toe!
