Curtsy Lunge

How to do it

Stand with feet hip-width apart, hands on your hips or holding added resistance at your sides.
Brace your core and step one foot diagonally behind and across your standing leg, like the start of a curtsy.
Bend both knees to lower your hips straight down, keeping your front knee tracking over your front foot.
Press through the front heel to return to the standing start position.
Exhale as you stand up and inhale as you step back, completing all reps on one side before switching legs.
A common fault is letting the front knee collapse inward, so keep it aligned with the front foot throughout the descent.
