pivoting your leg from your hip.
Move your entire leg backward,
keeping your knee steady at a

Success tips
• Place feet in a position so that when
you lunge back, your front foot is
directly under your knee and your
back leg lines up under your hip.
• Keep your head and chest lifted, with
a slight arch in the lower back during
the movement.
• Do only one side to fatigue and then
switch to the other side.
