Guided Instructions
Warm-Up
Before starting, perform 3–5 minutes of light cardio — such as marching in place, jumping jacks, or high knees — to loosen your joints and raise your heart rate. Follow it with some dynamic stretches like leg swings and hip circles to prepare your muscles for lunges.
Forward Lunge Form
Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart. Step forward with your right leg, lowering your hips until both knees bend at about 90 degrees. Keep your front knee aligned over your ankle, and your back knee hovering just above the ground. Push through your front heel to return to the starting position and switch legs.
Workout Flow
Perform each exercise in sequence, resting between as needed. Focus on slow, controlled movements for the first three exercises to build form and strength. Save the jump lunges for intensity — they’re designed to push your endurance and elevate your heart rate. Finish with static lunges to hold tension and build stability.
Cool Down
End your session with a 3-minute cool down. Perform standing quad stretches, hamstring reaches, and deep lunges with torso twists to ease muscle tension. Take deep breaths and focus on relaxing your body — this helps recovery and prevents soreness.
