Lateral Lunge to Drop Lunge
January 15, 2009
Starting Position
- Stand tall with your arms at your sides.
Procedure
- Take a large step out to the right with your right foot, shifting your hips to the side and back and bending your right knee while keeping your left leg straight.
- Keep your toes pointing straight ahead and your feet flat.
- Push through your right hip to stand back up, but instead of placing your right foot down next to your left foot, first move it a couple feet behind you and to the left of your left foot.
- Square your hips so they’re facing forward, and then bend at the hips and knees to sit back and down into a squat.
- Push back up to the starting position and continue into your next repetition.
Coaching Keys
- Keep your chest up and your weight on the mid-foot to heel of your squatting leg.
- During the drop lunge, keep your front heel on the floor.
You Should Feel It
- Stretching the outside of your hips and the inside of the thigh of your straight leg.
