The bodyweight side lunge builds single-leg strength and improves hip mobility. It targets your glutes and quads while working your inner thighs in a functional movement pattern.
1. Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, hands on your hips or at your sides. 2. Take a big step to the right, keeping your left leg straight as you lower into the bodyweight side lunge. 3. Push your hips back and bend your right knee, lowering until your thigh is parallel to the floor. 4. Keep your chest up and most of your weight on your right heel throughout the bodyweight side lunge movement. 5. Push off your right foot to return to the starting position, then repeat on the left side.
• Keep your knee tracking over your toes during the bodyweight side lunge to protect your joints. • Don't let your torso lean forward - stay upright with your chest proud. • Push your hips back like you're sitting in a chair to engage your glutes properly. • Land softly on each step and control the movement - no bouncing in your bodyweight side lunge.
• Stepping too narrow, which limits your range of motion and reduces the effectiveness of your bodyweight side lunge. • Letting the knee cave inward instead of tracking over the toes. • Rushing through the movement instead of controlling each rep of your bodyweight side lunge with proper form.
