12
Lateral Lunge
- Start standing with your feet hips-width apart.
- Lift your right leg with control, bringing your knee toward your chest. Keep your abs tight and pulled in toward your spine, and don't let your back bow forward.
- Turn your right knee out to the side, and take a big step laterally to the right.
- Immediately lower your hips into a lateral lunge, sitting your hips back like you're going to sit in a chair, bending your right knee and keeping it over your ankle. Don't let your ankle push in front of your toes, and keep your chest lifted. Keep your left leg straight and your core pulled in as you lunge.
- Push through your right heel to come back to standing, pulling your right knee back to your chest. If you can, keep your balance and don't set your right foot back down until the end of the set.
- This counts as one rep. Complete 12 reps on each leg, then repeat for two sets.
