To perform a chair lunge, place your rear foot on a chair, and have your lead foot slightly in front of you. Keeping your abs and glutes tights, take a medium to long step forward and slowly lower yourself through your leading knee until your thigh is parallel to the ground. Your leading knee should not come past your toes. Once the thigh is parallel to the ground, push yourself back up using the lead leg, and then repeat the same motion. Perform the desired number of repetitions.
