Struggling to stay balanced during lunges? You’re not alone! 👣
One of the biggest mistakes people make with lunges is setting up too narrow. Start by placing your feet about hip-width apart and take a long enough step so both knees can bend to roughly 90 degrees at the bottom of the movement.
Still feeling wobbly? Try kicking off your shoes!
Most training and running shoes are designed to cushion impact from running and jumping, but that extra cushioning can reduce the feedback your feet receive from the ground. Going barefoot (where safe and appropriate) allows your feet to better “feel” the floor, improving proprioception—your body’s awareness of position and movement—which can help you stay more stable and balanced during lunges.
Sometimes better balance isn’t about trying harder… it’s about feeling the ground beneath your feet. 💪🔥
