Execution

1. Step Back: Take a step back with one foot, keeping a slight bend in your front knee.
2. Engage Core: Keep your core tight to maintain balance.
3. Lower Body: Bend your front leg to lower into a lunge, ensuring your knee stays above your ankle.
4. Cable Resistance: Allow the cable to pull you back gently as you lunge.
5. Return: Push through your front heel to return to the starting position.
6. Repeat: Perform on one side before switching to the other leg.
