Lateral Lunge - 2 DB

Description

Starting Position: Stand with feet together, holding a weight in each hand, held by the thighs.

Procedure: Step to one side in a lateral direction, keeping the opposite leg straight. Hinge at the hips, and bend the knee at a depth appropriate for your ability to enter a seated position. Push through your hip of the bent leg to return to the start position, then repeat moving in the opposite direction. 

Coaching Keys: Keep your opposite leg straight, your back flat & your chest up. Both heels should be planted into the ground. In the low position, the weights will straddle the bent leg. 

Feel It: Working your glutes, hamstrings, and quads.
