Lateral Lunge Crunch
Level up your lower body and core with this dynamic 2-in-1 move. Sculpt your glutes and thighs while torching your obliques for improved balance, power, and side-body definition.
Instructions
Setup
Standing tall, engage your core with your feet hip-width apart.
Movement
Lateral Lunge: Step out to the side with one leg, keeping your toes pointed forward. Push your hips back and bend your lunging knee while keeping the other leg straight. Ensure your chest remains upright and your lunging knee stays aligned with your foot.
Crunch: Push off the floor with the lunging foot to return to the starting position. As you return, explosively drive the same knee upward toward your chest, while simultaneously performing a gentle torso side-crunch to bring your elbow toward the lifted knee.
Repeat: Return to the starting position and complete the desired number of repetitions before switching sides, or alternating if preferred.
