Walking lunge: how to do it with good form

Walking lunges train legs, glutes and balance in every step — with or without dumbbells.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall, holding dumbbells at your sides if you use weight.

  2. 2

    Take a long step forward and lower the back knee towards the floor.

  3. 3

    Drive up through the front foot and bring the back leg through into the next step.

  4. 4

    Keep moving forward, alternating legs each step.

Common mistakes

  • Steps so short the knee ends far past the toes.
  • Torso leaning forward.
  • Back knee banging into the floor.
