Perfect Lunge Technique
Lunges are essential unilateral exercises that build functional leg strength, improve balance and stability, and address muscle imbalances. They target your quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and calves while challenging core stability. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures balanced development and proper form.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position: Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, core engaged, shoulders back
- Step Forward: Take a large step forward with one leg, maintaining upright torso
- Lower Down: Drop your hips straight down until both knees are at 90-degree angles
- Return: Push off front foot to return to starting position, maintaining control throughout
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Taking too small or too large steps
- Allowing front knee to drift over toes
- Leaning forward instead of staying upright
- Pushing off back foot instead of front foot
- Not dropping low enough (shallow range of motion)
