1. Lunges: Stop Turning It Into a Tightrope Walk
Common Mistake: Many people position their feet in a straight line when lunging, as if walking a tightrope. This narrow stance destabilizes your movement, making it harder to balance and increasing the risk of knee injury.

The Fix: Keep your feet about hip-width apart when stepping forward. Think of creating a “rectangle” shape with your legs at the bottom of the lunge, which allows for greater stability and reduces strain on your knees. Also, avoid letting your knee slam into the ground—control is key to building muscle without causing injury.
