A dynamic mobility exercise that improves hip mobility and adductor flexibility through controlled lateral lunging movements, targeting the inner thighs and improving lateral movement patterns.
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Step your right foot out to the side while keeping your left foot planted. Lower your body by bending your right knee and keeping your left leg straight. Push back to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side.
Begin standing with feet shoulder-width apart, core engaged, and ready to perform the lateral lunge.
Return to the starting position with both feet shoulder-width apart, maintaining control throughout the movement.
Step out to the side, keep your chest up, maintain balance, control the movement
Poor balance, not maintaining proper form, rushing the movement, poor knee alignment
Add weight, increase range of motion, perform more repetitions, or add resistance bands.
Reduce range of motion, perform partial lunges, or use support for balance.
Stop if you experience pain in the knees, hips, or ankles. Maintain proper form to avoid injury. This exercise requires good balance and hip mobility.
