Side Lunge

BeginnerBodyweight

The side lunge moves you laterally instead of forward or back, which brings the inner-thigh adductors into play alongside the quads and glutes. That sideways loading builds hip strength and mobility that straight-ahead training tends to miss. It's an approachable move for developing balanced lower-body strength.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall with feet hip-width apart and hands on your hips or out in front for balance.

  2. 2

    Shift your weight onto one leg and take a wide step out to the side with the other.

  3. 3

    As that foot lands, bend its knee and push your hips back while keeping the opposite leg straight.

  4. 4

    Continue lowering until the working thigh is roughly parallel to the floor, keeping the knee tracking over the toes.

  5. 5

    Drive through that foot to extend the hip and knee back to the start.

  6. 6

    Repeat on the other side.
