The walking lunge is simply a standard lunge where you keep pushing yourself forward and making forward progress, instead of pushing back to the starting position.
Step 1: Start out in a standing position.
Step 2: Lunge your left leg forward and lower your body towards the ground until your right knee just brushes the ground. Your left knee should be straight above or just behind your toes.
Step 3: Extend your left leg (the forward leg) until you are standing upright again.
Repeat the movement a second time, this time bringing your right leg forward. Keep alternating legs as you lunge your way across a football field, basketball court, or around the track.
