If you want a dynamic and functional lunge, this turning lunge is a great choice. In this move, you pivot around and lunge diagonally behind you, taking the weights towards the floor and engaging the glutes, quads and even the core. You may even feel your heart rate rising with this move. Just make sure you pivot on the foot as you turn to avoid tweaking the knee.
- Begin the move facing forward, holding weights in each hand, if desired.
- Turn to the left at a diagonal, pivoting on the right foot while stepping forward with the left foot into a lunge, taking the weights towards the floor. Make sure your abs are engaged to protect the back.
- Keep the right leg straight as you lunge and keep the front knee behind the toe.
- Push back up, turning so that you face forward again.
- Do the same move to the right, this time lunging forward with the right foot and keeping the left leg straight.
- Push back to start and repeat, alternating sides, for 1-3 sets of 10-16 reps.
