START
• Stand with your feet together.

with your palms facing inward.
• Keep the chest lifted, abs tight, and
a slight arch in the lower back.
• Initiate the movement by tightening
your glutes and slowly pivoting your
leg from your hip. Move your entire
leg backward, keeping your knee
steady at a
90 degree angle.

Success tips
• Place feet in a position so that when you
lunge back, your front foot is directly
under your knee and your back leg lines
up under your hip.
• Keep your head and chest lifted, with a
slight arch in the lower back during the
movement.
• Do only one side to fatigue and then
switch to the other side.
