Lunges – how to do it right
Big step, back knee towards the floor.
This is how Stickfreed, our glowing stick figure, shows you the exercise on your TV – here the start, middle and end position. In the app he turns slowly so you can see everything.
How to do it
- Both knees ~90° at the bottom.
- Back knee under your hip.
- Front knee over your ankle.
- Stay tall.
How long?
40–45 seconds at a steady pace: slow on the way down, strong on the way up. 2–4 rounds. The side changes from round to round. With dumbbells or without weight; BLOX remembers your weight.
If something niggles
Knee niggling? Then do Glute bridge instead – BLOX swaps it automatically if you mention it at the start. Stop if it hurts; if you have complaints or pre-existing conditions, check with a doctor or physio first.
