Walking Lunge (Cable)

A dynamic lower body exercise combining cable resistance with forward lunging movements. Builds single-leg strength and improves balance and coordination.

Instructions

1. Stand facing a cable machine holding the handles at chest height in both hands.
2. Begin with your feet hip-width apart with good posture and core engagement.
3. Step forward with one leg, lowering your body until both knees are bent at approximately 90 degrees.
4. Your front knee should track over your ankle and remain behind your toes.
5. Your rear knee should nearly touch the ground.
6. Push through your front heel to drive forward into the next lunge.
7. Step forward with your opposite leg and repeat the movement.

Tips

• Maintain an upright torso throughout the movement, using your core for stability.
• The cable provides resistance in all directions, requiring greater stability than bodyweight lunges.
• Move slowly and with control to maximize leg muscle engagement and balance.
• The constant cable tension provides stimulus throughout the entire range of motion.
• This movement improves single-leg strength and functional lower body power.
