Exercise: Bodyweight Lateral Lunge

  Print This Page  Send to a Friend

• Assume athletic stance
• Take large step right with right foot
• Drive hips back and lower into lateral squat position, keeping weight on heels and right knee behind toes
• Drive up and left out of side squat into standing position
• Repeat for specified reps; perform set on left leg, then rest

Sets/Reps: 3x50 each leg
Hackett: This builds strength in the abductors and adductors, which are crucial in change-of-direction and lateral movement ability. You’d be amazed watching some guys try to get the proper technique of keeping their backs straight and not bending over at their waists.
