Instructions

Positioning

  • Start by stepping your feet out into a wide stance, wider than shoulder-width apart.

  • Sink into a deep lateral lunge on one side by bending one knee while keeping the other leg fully extended.

  • Ensure your feet are planted firmly on the ground, pointing forward or slightly outward depending on your hip mobility.

Movement

  • While maintaining the low, deep squat position, shift your weight steadily from one side to the other, moving from one side-lunge position to the opposite side-lunge position.

  • Keep your torso relatively upright throughout the movement, avoiding leaning too far forward.

  • Your hips should stay at the same low height throughout the transition across. Imagine your hips moving along a horizontal line.

  • Engage your core to stabilize your upper body and protect your lower back while moving through the range of motion.
