Low Side-To-Side Lunge
Low Side-To-Side Lunge is a great exercise because it works the sides of the glutes (the gluteus medius), which are essential stabilizer muscles for the hip joint. This exercise provides strength on both sides of the body.

Target Muscles
Instructions
- Choose a pair of dumbbells and stand with your knees slightly bent. Hold the dumbbells at your side; this is your starting position.
- Step to the side with your left foot, keeping your balance, and squat over your hips. Keep your torso straight and your head up. Don't let your knee go past your toes.
- Push yourself back to the starting position using your heal. Repeat this movement with your right leg and repeat the desired number of repetitions.
Tips
- Never let your knees go past your toes during this movement because it will put undue stress on the knee joints.
- Keep your head straight and straight throughout the exercise. Never let your back round.
