Back Lunges
Rep Range
10-20
Hints
Start standing with dumbbells held at your sides. Step one foot back into a lunge, ensuring the front knee remains aligned with the front ankle. Push through the front heel to return to the starting position, then alternate legs.
Common Mistakes
Avoid allowing the front knee to jut past the toes. Maintain an upright posture; don't lean forward.
Breathing
Inhale as you step into the lunge. Exhale while pushing back to the starting position.
