Lunge Kickbacks

- Start with your feet in a separated stance with one foot in front and the other foot behind ready to lunge backward. Have a straight spine and engaged core to avoid any hunching. Do not look down at the ground; keep your gaze forward.
- As we bend both knees, we keep our front knee facing forward and in line with our toes. We do not want our knee to go past our toes.
- We lunge onto the ball of our other foot with our knee facing straight downward. This should be parallel with our front leg.
- Our front knee should create a 90 degree angle during this lunge, and the back knee should be just above the floor.
- As we rise back up, we push out of our front heel to engage our glute and balance.
- As we balance on our front leg, we lift the back leg as high as we comfortably can, feeling the contraction in our glute of the back leg.
- Lower the back leg back down to the separated starting position and repeat
