Side Lunges: How To, Muscles Worked, Benefits & MORE

Side lunges, also known as lateral lunges, are an excellent exercise that provide benefits to beginners and more experienced athletes alike. Not only do they provide benefits to your leg muscles and glutes, but they help build balance and stability throughout your body.

Dumbbells can be added to the lunge for an additional challenge if desired. Best of all, done correctly these side lunges can lead to improved weight loss and health benefits over time! It's easy to get started too; just remember to keep your chest up, lower your hips back, don’t let your knee collapse inwards towards the midline of your body and push off through the heel on the floor rather than the toes when you push back up again.

Try a few simple side lunges for yourself today for an enjoyable workout with real benefits!

Another exercise I need to start doing. May do them as a warm up before my run.

Actually, i started doing squats/lateral squats with not so heavy dumbells and do some arm lifting (doesn't matter which one. I do whatever I feel like). And I just do until like ok i feel it. Then I stop. Then do some abs exercise or some lying down exercise (I am lazy!l Then 3 days later, I continue. I do loose weight about 3kg in about 2 weeks.

But just to note, I naturally not a snacker. That means I am not into sweets/chocolates/chipssweet drinks. I take them only when I crave. I usually drinks plain water and eat rice (I'm SEAsian). I stop eating at the point as long as I don't feel hungry. It's the feeling that you are not hungry BUT can still stuff more if you want too. Sometimes I eat dinner sometimes not, again if I'm.hungry or not. I do eat pizza, pasta, carbs etc. I do not go on diet. It's just stop eating the moment you don't feel hungry.

In the narration, we're told to place our feet shoulder-width apart, but in the video the feet are much further apart than that, practically double-shoulder-width. Which is it?

I don’t think the feet are shoulder width apart 😊

Can doing side lunges consistent day by day cure the problem of knock knee and reset the position of normal straight legs which doesn't have knock knee
