TRX Lunge

How to do it

  1. Hold the suspension trainer handles at chest height with arms extended, feet staggered in a split stance to start.
  2. Lower into a lunge, using light tension on the straps for balance while the front quadriceps take the load.
  3. Brace the core to keep the hips square and the torso upright as you descend.
  4. Press through the front heel to return to standing, keeping the straps taut but not used to pull yourself up.
  5. Exhale on the way up and inhale on the way down, keeping the tempo steady.
  6. Common fault: avoid leaning back into the straps or letting the front knee drift past the toes.
