How to do lunge with leg lift

Coach's Tips

As you perform the lunge, lift your leg to the side.

Start Position

1. Ensure your front knee aligns with your toes.

2. Avoid curving your back or rounding your shoulders.

3. Prevent knee locking when returning to the starting stance.

4. Cease the exercise if you feel any discomfort or pain.

Proper Form

1. Move forward with one leg, placing it flat on the floor.

2. Bend your front knee, transferring your weight onto it.

3. Propel yourself off the front leg to revert to the initial position.

4. As you move forward, raise your back leg upward and backward while keeping your core tight.

5. Lower your back leg and repeat the action.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe in deeply as you move forward and lower your body.

2. Exhale when pushing off the front leg and elevating your back leg.

Precautions

1. Position your feet hip-width apart with toes pointing forward.

2. Tighten your core to maintain a neutral spine alignment.

3. Rest your hands on your hips or place them behind your head.
