Reverse lunge's cardio cousin — strength that leaves you breathing.
Legs, Glutes, ConditioningNone or DumbbellsBeginner
Setup
- Stand tall, dumbbells at sides or hands on hips.
How To Do It
- Step forward into a lunge, both knees to ~90°.
- Push off the front heel and step THROUGH into the next lunge.
- Keep torso tall the whole walk.
Breathing
Exhale on each drive up.
Common Mistakes
- Narrow tightrope steps — keep hip-width rails for balance.
- Slamming the back knee — kiss the floor, don't hit it.
Coach Sam's cue: Walk tall, land soft.
