Side Against-Wall Wide-Stance Lunge

Starting Position:

• Stand facing a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart.

• Position yourself around two feet away from the wall.

• Raise your arms above your head, extending them straight out, and keep your palms facing forward.

Lunge Movement:

• Step your right foot out to the side into a wide stance.

• As you step out, bend your right knee while keeping your left leg straight.

• Ensure that your right knee is aligned with your right foot and does not extend past your toes.

Lowering Phase:

• Lower your hips into the lunge, feeling the stretch in your inner thigh and hip of the left leg.

• Keep your back straight and your torso upright, engaging your core for stability.

• Hold this position for a moment to feel the stretch.

Returning Phase:

• Push through your right heel to return to the starting position.

• Bring your right foot back to shoulder-width stance and lower your arms back down.

Repeat:

• Perform the desired number of repetitions on the right side (8-12 reps recommended).

• Switch to the left side and repeat the movement.

Tips:

• Maintain a slow and controlled movement throughout.

• Focus on proper form and alignment to prevent injury.

• Keep your shoulders relaxed and down away from your ears.

• If you're a beginner, you can perform the lunge without going too low until you become comfortable with the movement.
