Common errors

  • ✗ Front knee collapsing inward
  • ✗ Leaning the torso far forward

How Kalyra programs it

Trains the lunge pattern through quads and glutes with a clear rep target and progression path — one of the fundamental movements a balanced plan is built from.

Typically 2–4 sets of 6–10 reps per side.
