⚠️ Most common mistake: Letting the front knee cave inward, which strains the joint and shifts work off the glutes. Stepping too short, which turns the lunge into a quad-only squat without much glute work. Letting the torso fall forward over the front knee instead of staying tall. Pushing off the toes of the front foot instead of driving through the heel.

💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Quadriceps.
