Side Lunges

Type: Legs

The standard lunge focuses on the buttocks and upper leg muscles so taking the movement out to the side works the outer thighs (abductors). This also helps to develop the flexibility of the inner thigh which is often neglected.

Level :

Intermediate

Equipment : Yes

	Buttocks
	Calves Hamstrings Thighs

Side Lunges Steps:

Stand upright with feet hip width apart.

Step 2:

Take a step out to one side and lunge down to a comfortable position by bending the knee.

Step 3:

Keep the opposite leg straight.

Step 4:

Step 5:

This is one repetition.

Top Tip:

Keep the back straight throughout the move. Increase the challenge by holding a pair of dumbbells in front of you.
