Instructions
1. Begin by standing straight with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Engage your core and take a step forward with one foot into a lunge position, bending both knees to lower your body towards the ground. Make sure your front knee is directly above the ankle and does not extend past your toes. Your back knee should hover just above the ground.
3. Push through the heel of your front foot to return to a standing position while lifting the same leg you lunged with straight behind you, squeezing the glutes as you perform the leg lift.
4. Lower the lifted leg back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.
Tips: Maintain a straight posture throughout the movement. Keep your movements controlled, especially when lifting and lowering the leg. Breathe out as you lift your leg and inhale as you return to the starting position. Make sure the movement is fluid and continuous for each rep, without any jerky motions.
