Stand facing a room approximately 20-50 feet long. Step forward with your right leg and slowly lower your body until your rear knee is about 2 inches above the floor. Remember to keep your right knee directly over your right foot while keeping your back straight and shoulders upright. Step forward with your left leg and repeat the above.

Continue lunging down the room alternating legs. Perform 3 sets of 12-15 repetitions per leg with a comfortable weight in each hand.
