Lateral Lunge
The Quadricep muscle group helps develop strength and lower body power through out the swing. And assists in hip stability, and vertical force
Starting position:
Start in a traditional standing position, with no weights, or weights in hands resting as your sides
Movement:
Maintaining a neutral spine throughout the movement, step the right foot laterally as far as you feel comfortable. As the right foot touches the ground again, the toe should be pointed straight, parallel with the left foot, push the hips back over the heel of the right foot allowing the right knee to bend, while the left leg stays straight. Lower the hips to knee level or slightly lower. The heel should stay on the ground, and the body should align to the right side. (right toe, heel, knee, hip, and shoulder all aligned as if to be up against a wall) drive through the right leg to press yourself back up to the starting position.
Notes: Complete repetitions on each side, or alternate for a chosen amount of repetitions
