How to Perfect Your Lunge Technique & Target the Right Muscles

“Why does my knee hurt when I lunge?” If you’ve ever asked yourself that, you're not alone.

In today's video, I break down the key concepts behind proper lunge technique, including how to target specific muscles like the hamstrings, quads, and glutes. I explain how variations in lunge positions—like knee over heel or shorter steps—affect different muscle groups and why it’s essential to know the right form for injury prevention. They also dive into common movement faults, such as knee tracking issues and what might be causing them, including foot instability or poor ankle mobility.
