Lateral Lunge
Keep feet SQUARE and FLAT!
Directions: Perform my
Dynamic Warm-Up
exercises at “beginning” of workout for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your
body!
-
Start in athletic ready position with semi-squat and feet pointed straight forward; hips are square and forward.
-
Lunge to one side while keeping the inside leg straight and inside foot pointed straight forward and flat on the ground.
-
Reach down for the ground in front of outside leg.
-
Staying down in the athletic position, return to center then lunge to the other side.
Tips: It's really important to keep feet aligned
straight forward at all times. The inside needs to stay perfectly flat as
you lunge laterally so you can get a dynamic stretch on the outside of your
lower leg. If you can't reach the ground just reach towards your knee.
-
This is a great movement for really opening up the groin areas. It feels good although a bit hard the first few days. Hang in there--you'll get a lot of functional return for this exercise.
*Note:
This exercise is intended for "normal healthy"
individuals. If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical
therapist before continuing your exercises.
