- Step one foot forward and lower your hips into a lunge, ensuring the front knee aligns over the ankle.
- Keep your back knee slightly above the ground and torso upright.
- Hold the position briefly to feel the stretch, then push off the front foot to return to the starting position.
- Repeat the movement with the opposite leg.
