Instructions
Positioning:
1. Stand facing a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Take a step back with your right foot, ensuring your left foot remains planted on the ground.
3. Place both hands on the wall at shoulder height for support.
Movement:
1. Slowly lower your body into a lunge by bending your left knee, keeping it directly above your ankle. Your right knee should lower towards the ground, but do not let it touch the floor.
2. Hold the lunge position for a moment, feeling the stretch in your thighs.
3. Push through your left heel to return to the standing position.
4. Repeat the movement with your right leg for the desired number of repetitions.
5. Switch legs and repeat.
Tips:
- Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the exercise.
- Make sure to breathe; inhale as you lower and exhale as you push back up.
- Start with a few repetitions and gradually increase as you feel more comfortable.
