How to: Bottle Weighted Forward Lunge
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a weight in each hand.
- Step forward with your right foot, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle.
- Make sure your left knee is just above the ground and your right knee is directly over your right ankle.
- Push back up to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
Common Mistakes
- Falling forward or leaning too much during the lunge.
- Not fully extending the back leg.
- Arching the back instead of keeping it straight.
Modifications
- Perform the lunge without weights for beginners.
- Use a chair or wall for support if balance is an issue.
Tips
- Keep your front knee aligned with your ankle and avoid letting it extend past your toes.
- Engage your core throughout the movement to maintain balance.
- Use a slow and controlled movement instead of rushing through the lunge.
