Movement Alternative For Side Lunges



Having trouble with side lunges due to a groin pull or just limited strength in your adductors (those inner thighs)? This exercise gives you an easy introduction into how to use your adductors, with minimal load and intensity, all while still taxing the rest of your legs


This movement alternative is a fan favorite because it allows you to slowly start training those inner thighs, but without all of the stress you get doing deep side lunges or cossack squats.


Start with your feet a foot wider than shoulder width and slowly work your way up, increasing your foot width over time while you improve your hip mobility.
