Side Forward Leaning Lunge

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Ensure your posture is upright, with your shoulders relaxed and your core engaged.

2. Lunge to the Side:

   • Shift your weight to your right leg and step your left leg out to the side.

   • Bend your right knee while keeping the left leg straight. Ensure your left foot is flat on the ground.

   • Keep your chest up and your core tight as you lower your body into the side lunge.

3. Leaning Forward:

   • As you sink into the lunge, lean your torso slightly forward. Keep your back flat and your gaze downward.

   • Place both hands on your right knee or reach towards the ground in front of you for balance.

4. Hold the Position:

   • Stay in this position for a moment to feel the stretch in your inner thigh and hip.

   • Keep your right foot flat and ensure that your knee is in line with your toes (not bending inward).

5. Return to Starting Position:

   • Push off your right foot to return to the starting position, bringing your feet back together.

   • Repeat on the other side by shifting your weight to the left leg and stepping your right leg out to the side.

6. Repetitions:

   • Perform 8-12 repetitions on each side for a complete set.

Tips:

• Maintain control throughout the movement and avoid any jerky motions.

• If you feel any discomfort in your knees or back, adjust your positioning or consult a fitness professional for guidance.
