The low side-to-side lunge builds strength and flexibility in the hips and legs. This exercise also increases core strength and balance on both sides of the body.
Instructions
Stand with your feet set about shoulder-width apart, with your feet facing straight ahead. Clasp your hands in front your chest.
Shift your weight over to one leg as you push your hips backward and lower your body by dropping your hips and bending your knees. Return to starting position.
Trainer’s Tips
The majority of the movement should come at the hips. Avoid bending excessively at the torso.
Don't place weight on your toes. Keep heels planted on the floor.
