Lunge Rotation
The Lunge with Rotation combines the classic leg exercise with a torso twist, training not only the legs but also the abdominal muscles and spinal mobility. The main load is on the thighs and glutes, while the rotational movement specifically engages the core muscles. Compared to a regular lunge, this variation challenges stability more, as the added twist further tests balance.
Lunge Rotation - the correct execution
- Start in standing position
- Make a big lunge forward
- Front foot is evenly loaded
- Keep your upper body upright
- Rotate your upper body in the direction of the front leg
- Return to standing position
- Start with the other leg
