Plyo Side Lunge Stretch · Preview

STEP 1

Setup

Stand with your feet much wider than shoulder width and toes slightly out. Keep your chest open and hands in front or on your thighs.

STEP 2

Start phase

Bend one knee and shift your weight to that side. Keep the opposite leg straight and feel the inner thigh stretch.

STEP 3

End phase

Push the floor away to return to center, then move rhythmically to the other side. Use leg strength instead of momentum.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Notice the straight-leg inner thigh and bent-leg thigh and glutes work in turn. The working area should change naturally side to side.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

A collapsed torso or inward knee increases knee stress. Reduce the travel distance while keeping alignment.

STEP 6

Breathing

Inhale as you lower and exhale as you return. Match your breath to the movement.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Start with a small range and widen it as you get comfortable. Keep the movement smooth and controlled.
