# Lunge
|
||||
|
||||
The split-stance squat — drop the back knee toward the floor, then drive
|
||||
back up through the front heel. Bodyweight first, dumbbells in hand later.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Split-stance squat (bodyweight or dumbbells)
|
||||
- **Targets:** Quadriceps, glutes, balance
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 3 × 8–10 per side
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Take a long step so both knees can bend to 90° — front shin vertical,
|
||||
back heel up. Hips square to the front, hands at your sides or on hips.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Lower straight down until the back knee hovers just above the floor.
|
||||
2. The front knee stays over the mid-foot, torso upright.
|
||||
3. Drive through the front heel to come back up. Finish the set, then
|
||||
switch sides.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Down like an elevator, not forward like a slide.
|
||||
- Front heel carries the work; the back leg balances.
|
||||
- Squeeze the front glute to stand up.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Stance too short — the front knee shoots past the toes.
|
||||
- Torso pitching forward on the way up.
|
||||
- Pushing off the back foot instead of the front heel.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Hold a dumbbell in each hand; step backward into each rep (reverse lunge)
|
||||
or elevate the back foot for a split squat.
