How to: Kettlebell Front Rack Walking Lunge
- Start by holding a kettlebell in the front rack position, with your elbows tucked in.
- Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Step forward with one foot into a lunge, ensuring your back knee is just above the ground.
- Press through your front heel to return to standing, switching legs each time.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the front knee extend over the toes too much.
- Maintaining improper posture and leaning forward.
- Not stepping far enough to properly engage the muscles.
Modifications
- Perform the lunge without weights for a reduced challenge.
- Use a lighter kettlebell to better control the movement.

- Keep your chest up and core engaged during the lunge.
- Take a big enough step forward to ensure your knee doesn't go over your toes.
