How to do the Plate Curtsy Lunge

  1. Stand tall while holding Weight Plate with your feet together.
  2. Step forward with one foot, lowering your rear knee toward the floor until your front thigh is parallel to the ground.
  3. Keep your front shin vertical and your torso upright.
  4. Push through your front heel to return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.

Form tips

  • Keep your front knee directly above your ankle — do not let it drift forward.
  • Maintain an upright torso throughout the movement.
  • Control your descent to protect your knees and maximize muscle engagement.
