The dynamic lunge from a step combines strength, balance, and power by stepping forward into a controlled lunge from an elevated position. This exercise challenges the quads, hamstrings, and glutes while also improving hip stability and coordination. It’s a progression from standard lunges, often used in rehabilitation and athletic training to build functional lower-limb strength.
- Stand on the step with both feet.
- Step down with one leg, landing in a lunge position with the knee stacked above the ankle and the leg remaining on the step bent also to 90 degrees.
- Immediately continue forward with another step while staying low to the ground.
- Repeat as per Physiotherapist recommendations.
