- Keep your upper body straight, with your shoulders back and relaxed. Find a point to stare at straight ahead and keep your neck straight, chin up.
- Consciously engage your core to help with your balance.
- Step forward and lower the knee until you have a 90-degree angle and your knee is directly above your foot.
- Keep the weight in your heels and push yourself back up to your starting position. Continue the up and down movement until you reach 15 lunges on the first leg. Then switch sides.
