If lunges bother your knees, try changing where you’re pushing from. A lot of people shift too much weight forward and push through their toes, which can make the quads and knees do more of the work. Instead, think: 👉 Keep your whole foot planted 👉 Press your front heel into the floor 👉 Imagine you’re squashing a bug under your heel 👉 Drive through the foot as you stand and feel your glutes help do the work That small shift can completely change how a lunge feels. This doesn’t mean your knee can never travel forward over your toes — it absolutely can. The goal is simply to keep your foot grounded and distribute the load better instead of dumping everything forward. Save this and try it on your next leg day. 🍑 #kneepain #lunges #glutetraining #legworkout #kneepainrelief
