Lunge sideways alternating ► lateral lunge

Individual work

Stand upright with hips wide apart, lunge to the side (leg outstretched, standing leg bent), lower your upper body and touch the floor with your hands on your bent standing leg, push off your bent leg to return to the starting position. Switch sides after each exercise.

Attention:
Keep your upper body upright, keep the knee of the supporting leg centred over the foot, put weight on the whole foot.

Lighten:
Bend the training leg less (lower your upper body less, rest your hands on your hips).

Harden:
Add weight (on the shoulders, with hanging arms or in a forward or upward position).

Variant:
Place carpet remnants/felt slippers/glides under the feet to slowly slide the respective leg to the side.
