The Hip Lunge is a fantastic bodyweight exercise that enhances hip flexibility and strengthens the lower body. This movement targets the hip flexors, quads, and glutes, promoting better balance and mobility. Perfect for warming up or as part of a full-body workout, it bolsters overall physical performance and injury prevention.
How to do it
- Begin by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart and arms at your sides.
- Step forward with your right foot, bending both knees to lower your hips until both legs form a 90-degree angle.
- Ensure your right knee stays aligned over your ankle, not extending past it, while your left knee hovers above the ground.
- Press through the right heel to return to the starting position, then switch legs to complete the next rep.
- Repeat the movement, alternating sides for your desired number of repetitions.
