Better Balance on Lunges Home -> The Library -> Training Tips -> Lunge Balance Many trainers have a difficult time keeping their balance when doing Lunges. There is a stance you can use to greatly improve your balance. Don't have both your legs in a straight line. Keep them horizontally separated by about six inches to keep your balance. Setting your feet farther apart increases your base of support and makes your body more stable when you are lunging. To set yourself, first stand with your feet together. Now step about 6 inches to one side. Now step back, maintaining that horizontal separation.
