How do you perform a Weighted Forward Lunge?

  • Start in a standing position with feet shoulder-width apart.
  • Hold a weight against your chest.
  • Take a step forward with one foot.
  • Bend the other leg until both knees are at a 90-degree angle.
  • Keep the back straight and the shoulders back.
  • Push back to the starting position.

Common faults

  • Lunge not far enough.
  • Front knee is too forward (beyond the toes).
  • Knees not at 90°.
  • Feet too much in line so that balance is not maintained.
  • Weight removed from chest causing you to fall forward.
