Exercise Basics - Bodyweight Lunge

March 10, 2026

To perform a bodyweight lunge, begin with your feet shoulder width apart. Your hands can either be at your sides or on your hips. Step out with one foot about two to three feet in front of you. This is going to differ for each person. Bend down and squat as far as you can go. Your knee does not have to touch the ground when you're doing this exercise. You can either alternate as we're seeing right now, or you can keep one foot in front of you and continue the exercise, making sure that the weight is on the middle of your front foot, not in your heels or your toes. And you want to keep your chest up and your back straight.
