How to do the Lateral Lunges

1. Stand with feet wide and hands together in front of your chest.
2. Bend one knee and lower your hips toward that side while the opposite leg stays straight.
3. Press through the bent leg to return to center and alternate sides.

Tips

• Keep your chest lifted and back long.
• Move smoothly to stay balanced.

Adjustments

• Lower only partway if the full lunge feels intense.
• Use a chair or wall for balance if you need support.
