Side lunges

Execution

  1. Start by standing up tall.
  2. Step sideways with one foot and bend your leg until it reaches a 90-degree angle.
  3. Now one of your knees is bent to a 90-degree angle, while the other one is still straight. You should lower your hips as if you are doing a squad.
  4. Keep both your feet completely on the ground. Your weight should be on the leg that is bent.
  5. Straighten your leg and move your weight to the other leg to perform the side lunges on the other side.

Points of attention

  • Keep your upper body straight and try not to lean too far forward.
  • Keep your weight of your heels.
  • Keep your chest lifted.
