Walking Lunge

Technique

Step forward into a lunge, lowering your back knee toward the floor while keeping your front shin vertical. Instead of stepping back, push off your front foot and bring your back leg forward into the next lunge. Keep your torso upright throughout. Continue traveling forward for the prescribed distance or reps.
