How to do it
- Stand tall facing the travel direction with the feet together and the arms at the sides.
- Step forward into a long lunge until the front thigh is near parallel and the back knee is low.
- Keep the front foot flat and the front knee stacked over the mid-foot.
- Rotate the torso toward the front leg, letting both arms travel with the ribs.
- Unwind to face forward, then push through the front foot and step through.
- Repeat on the other leg and keep walking as you alternate.
Common mistakes
- Twisting from the knee instead of from the ribs, which wrenches the front leg.
- Letting the front knee travel past the toes or cave inward in the lunge.
- Rushing the twist before the lunge stance is stable.
- Collapsing the chest so the rotation comes from a rounded spine.
