How to Do a Curtsy Lunge?
You can perform this exercise using a barbell placed across your trapezius or by holding dumbbells or kettlebells at your sides.
Start by stepping one foot diagonally behind the other, keeping the heel of your back foot off the ground.
Lower your back knee towards the ground, stopping about 1–2 cm above the floor.
Maintain balance by keeping your hips square and facing forward throughout the movement.
