<< PREV     NEXT >>

 

• Start in neutral position with feet together
• Step forward with right leg into forward lunge position (sagittal); return to start position
• Step to right with right leg into side lunge position (frontal); return to start position
• Step back at 45-degree angle with right leg (transverse); return to start position
• Repeat pattern for specified reps

Sets/Reps: 1x5 each leg (one rep equals a lunge in each direction)
Coaching Points: Keep non-lunging leg straight during each movement // Don’t rush each rep // Use slow, controlled movements // Begin lunging with body weight, then progress to light dumbbells

Note: Perform all Jump Starts at end of your dynamic warm-up.
