How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place a resistance band under your left foot. Hold the handles of the band with both hands either at shoulder height or by your abdomane sides.
2. Step your right leg behind and across your left leg, while bending both knees to lower into a lunge.
3. Push through your left heel to return to the starting position, bringing your right leg back to the starting position.
4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides to work the other leg.

Form tips

• Keep your chest up and your back straight to maintain proper form.
• Perform the movement slowly and with control to maximize muscle activation and reduce injury risk.
• Exhale as you push back to the starting position and inhale as you lower into the lunge.
