Low Lunge
The Low Lunge is a dynamic stretch that targets the hip flexors and quadriceps.
- Start in a standing position.
- Step forward with your right foot into a lunge, keeping your knee over your ankle.
- Lower your left knee to the ground, ensuring your hips are square.
- Hold the position for a few seconds, feeling the stretch in your left hip.
- Return to standing and repeat on the other side.
How to perform the Low Lunge
- Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Low Lunge using your body weight.
- Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your primary working muscles.
- Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.
Coaching cues
- Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
- Drive force through your working muscles rather than momentum.
- Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.
Common mistakes
- Using too much weight and losing positional control.
- Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
- Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
