Suspension Side Lunge

• Step out to the side with your right foot, bending your right knee into a lunge while keeping your left leg straight.
• Push your hips back and lower your body as far as you can, keeping the suspension trainer taut.
• Push through your right foot to return to the standing position, maintaining control of the suspension trainer as you do so.
• Repeat the exercise on the other side, stepping out with your left foot and keeping your right leg straight.

• Proper Form: As you lunge to the side, keep your chest lifted, back straight, and your core engaged. Avoid rounding your back or leaning too far forward, as this can lead to injury. The knee of your lunging leg should be bent at a 90-degree angle, and your other leg should be straight.
• Controlled Movement: Make sure your movements are controlled and steady. Avoid rushing through the exercise or using momentum to complete the movement. This reduces the effectiveness of the exercise and increases the risk of injury.
• Keep Knees in Line: One common mistake is letting the knee of the lunging leg cave inwards or extend past the toes. Always keep your knee in
