Lateral Lunge
Today we are adding the lateral lunge to our movements. This may be a new challenge to lunge laterally, but the struggle in the beginning will be worthwhile. This is a great way to strengthen the legs and glutes. Try not to get frustrated learning this movement. Do your best and strength and flexibility will come with practice.
Stand with your feet parallel and hip-width apart. Step to the right while keeping your weight over your heels. Bend at the hips, pushing them backwards while shifting your weight towards the right foot until your shin is vertical to the floor and your right knee is aligned above your right foot. Your left leg should be near at full extension at the knee and your body weight should still be distributed into the right hip. Try to keep your left foot flat on the floor. Push off firmly with your right leg, returning your body to your starting position. Repeat the movement for the opposite side.
