Kettlebell Lateral Lunge
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The kettlebell lateral lunge targets the lower body, enhancing strength and flexibility in the hips and thighs. This exercise improves stability and balance while challenging the core. It is effective for building unilateral strength and engaging muscles differently than traditional squats.
How to do it
- Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell at shoulder height.
- Step one foot out to the side into a wide stance, bending the knee of that leg.
- Keep the other leg straight and lower into a lunge, keeping the torso upright.
- Push through the bent leg to return to the starting position.
- Repeat on the other side.
