How To Make Sure Your Front Lunges Are Perfect To See Results

I've seen a lot of people doing this move wrong, especially those who try the move for the first time. Our bodies tend to tense up when trying a brand-new move, but if you have been doing a front lunge for ages and you're frustrated that you aren't seeing any sort of results, there may be a perfectly good reason why.

In the case of front lunges, a lot of people think getting more lunges in (if you're doing an at-home HIIT workout, for instance) and breaking a sweat is most important, when really, it's the form that matters. Taking the time to slow down your workout can make all the difference in getting the most out of your movement—or getting sore in all the wrong places.

You do not want to make this mistake. Do not hunch over and have your body at a slant. Rather, you want to have your abs engaged and your body perpendicular to the ground. Instead of angling our body at a sloping position, keep your body straight. Also, you want to make sure that your knee isn't over that front toe—this puts a lot of pressure on our knees and can cause strain.

While front lunge is such a simple and quick move, the main take-away is to focus less on getting in more reps and more on perfecting your alignment. In other words, posture, posture, posture! Once you nail the posture down, you can have a better, more successful workout.
