Step-back Lunges

Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart. Step back with one leg and lower your hips until both knees are bent at about 90 degrees. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg.

Step-back lunges are great for targeting the quadriceps and glutes while improving balance and lower body strength.

How to do:

1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart. 2. Step backward with one leg and lower your body by bending both knees to form a 90-degree angle. 3. Ensure your front knee is directly above your ankle. 4. Push through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position. 5. Alternate legs and repeat for 8-12 reps per leg. 6. Perform 3-4 sets.

Tips:

- Keep your chest lifted and back straight. - Avoid letting your front knee go past your toes. - Engage your core for better balance. - Start with a small step back if you're a beginner.
