When you learn how to do the Kick Through Lunge, but sure to step back gently and don’t let your back leg jam into the floor hard. Rather, lower yourself with control and strength from your core and your front leg so that your back foot goes down gently. As your back foot touches the floor, be sure to lower your back knee at the same time in order to get that full range of motion. As your front leg kicks through, try to hold it in the air for a brief moment before stepping back again.

Here are the steps to performing the Kick Through Lunge:K

 

1) Stand tall with your feet hip distance apart. Take a large step backward with the right foot and lower your body toward the floor. Both legs should be bent at a 90-degree angle at the bottom of the lunge.

2) Straighten your left leg and kick your right foot forward to hip height or higher if possible. Repeat for desired number of reps then switch legs.
