Medicine Ball Side Lunge

BeginnerMedicine ball

A lateral lunge holding a medicine ball for extra resistance. Moving sideways works the quads, glutes, and inner thighs while the obliques help stabilize your torso. The ball raises the challenge and makes for a more complete lower body movement than a bodyweight side lunge.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Hold a medicine ball in both hands and stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.

  2. 2

    Step out to one side and bend that knee to drop into a lunge, keeping your other leg straight.

  3. 3

    Pause briefly at the bottom, keeping your core engaged.

  4. 4

    Drive through your bent leg's glutes, hips, and quads to step back to standing.

  5. 5

    Alternate sides and repeat.

  6. 6

    Keep your knee behind your toes, chest up, and shoulders back throughout.
