1 - Begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart, and your hands on your hips or relaxed by your sides.
2 - Take a lateral (sideways) step to your right with your right foot. As you step, shift your body weight to your right leg and bend your right knee.
3 - Lower your body by bending your right knee, while keeping your left leg straight. Your right knee should be directly above your right ankle, and your back should remain straight.
4 - Push off your right foot to return to the starting position, bringing your right foot back to meet your left foot.
5 - Perform the same movement to the left, taking a lateral step with your left foot and lunging to the left side.
6 - Continue to alternate between right and left lunges for the desired number of repetitions.
