  3. 3 Ensure your front knee is directly over your ankle and your back knee hovers just above the floor.
  4. 4 As you lower into the lunge, extend your left arm straight forward at shoulder height, as if aiming a pistol.
  5. 5 Simultaneously, pull your right arm back towards your hip, mimicking drawing a weapon from a holster.
  6. 6 Push off your right foot to return to the starting position, bringing both arms back to your sides.
  7. 7 Repeat the movement, stepping back with your left foot and reversing the arm actions, extending your right arm forward and pulling your left arm back.
