How to do a curtsy lunge

  1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and hands on your hips or clasped in front of your chest.
  2. Step your right leg diagonally behind and across your left leg, like a curtsy.
  3. Bend both knees to lower into a lunge until your front thigh is nearly parallel to the floor.
  4. Push through your front heel to return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat on the opposite side, alternating legs.

Form tips

  • Keep your torso upright and chest lifted throughout the movement.
  • Ensure your front knee tracks over your toes and does not collapse inward.
  • Engage your core to maintain balance and stability.
