Back and Forward Lunges

The Starting Position

Start by standing straight. Feet shoulder width apart. Hands behind your head with interlinked fingers. Your back straight and spine in neutral position.

The Motions

Step forward with your left leg, bending both legs so that all leg angles are roughly 90 degrees, and until your right knee almost touches the floor.

Now push off the front (left) leg through the heel of that leg, and return back to the original position.

Repeat with the the same leg, but now stepping backwards.

Return to your starting position, and repeat with the other leg.

The Technique

1. Take special care that your knee points forward, and is not going over your foot.
2. When pushing off with the front leg ensure to push through the heel.
