Cardio Lunge

1. Stand upright with your feet together and your hands by your side or on your hips for balance.

2. Take a step forward with one foot, ensuring your step is large enough to maintain balance.

3. Bend both knees to lower your body towards the ground, keeping your back straight and your front knee in line with your ankle. Your back knee should hover just above the ground.

4. Push off the front foot to bring your back foot forward, returning to the standing position.

5. Immediately step forward with the other foot and repeat the lunge on the opposite side.

6. Alternate lunges in a smooth and controlled motion, keeping your upper body as stable as possible.

7. Increase the speed of the exercise to bring the heart rate up and add a cardiovascular component to the workout, making it a 'Cardio Lunge.'

8. Continue alternating lunges for the desired number of repetitions or time duration to create a cardio effect.

Remember to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to provide stability and protect your lower back. The primary focus of this exercise is to maintain consistent and continuous movement for cardiovascular benefits while also strengthening the lower body.
