Walking Lunge
- Beginner
- Home
- Hybrid race
The walking lunge steps forward into a split stance, lowering your back knee toward the floor before you drive up and step into the next lunge with the other leg. Moving continuously forward trains the quads, glutes and hamstrings on both legs every rep. Beginners use it for reps at home or as part of hybrid race training, as a warmup, a main move or a finisher.

Common mistakes
