How to do lunge stretch

Coach's Tips

Bring one leg forward and lower your hips.

Start Position

1. Ensure your knee remains above your ankle as you descend into the lunge to avoid knee discomfort.

2. If you experience pain or discomfort, stop the exercise and consult a healthcare professional.

Proper Form

1. With your back straight and core engaged, gradually lower your hips until your rear leg is nearly parallel with the ground.

2. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds, then push through your front heel to return to your starting stance.

3. Switch legs and repeat the exercise.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale through your nose as you move into the lunge.

2. Exhale through your mouth while holding the position.

Precautions

1. Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart and arms relaxed by your sides.

2. Step one foot forward so your stance is staggered, forming a lunge.

3. For support, place your hands on your hips or rest them on the back of a chair.
