How to do partial forward lunges
- Stand on a flat surface with your feet hip-width apart.
- You can keep your arms down by your sides or place them on your hips.
- Brace your core, take a big step forward, and bend the front knee only slightly.
- Push off with that front leg back into the starting position.
- Repeat the movement either on that leg or alternate between them.
- Complete 3 sets of 8-12 reps per leg, or as your ability allows.

The medical-grade knit and patella pad in our GenuTrain Knee Support activate the muscles and improve sensorimotor function, protecting the knee and improving your awareness of how you move and position the joint.
You can also try our GenuTrain A3 for mild knee arthritis and GenuTrain P3 if you have patella tendon pain, ITBS, or kneecap instability.
Try other rehabilitative lunge variants
- Lunge from the floor is a good exercise to deepen the range of motion without placing excess strain on the knee.
- Clock lunges test balance and coordination, and work more areas of the legs and glutes.
