Crescent lunge (right)

Beginner
Quads

Starting position: Stand in a deep lunge position with right foot forward, left leg extended back, and arms raised overhead. Execution: Hold this static position while maintaining proper alignment and breathing steadily.

Find your pose

  1. 01Step your right foot forward into a deep lunge position with your knee directly over your ankle
  2. 02Extend your left leg straight back, keeping the back heel lifted and leg active
  3. 03Raise both arms straight up overhead with palms facing each other
  4. 04Keep your torso upright and engage your core muscles
  5. 05Hold the position while breathing deeply and maintaining balance
  6. 06Focus on sinking deeper into the lunge while keeping proper form

Keep in mind

  • Keep your front knee aligned over your ankle, not pushing forward past your toes
  • Maintain an upright torso rather than leaning forward over your front leg
  • Engage your back leg and keep it straight to create stability and activate the hip flexors
  • Press through your front heel and keep your weight evenly distributed
  • Keep your arms active and reaching upward to enhance the stretch through your torso

Move within a comfortable range and stop if you feel pain. Seek guidance from a qualified professional if you have an injury or health condition.
