The lunge with external rotation is a dynamic mobility exercise that combines lower body strength work with rotational flexibility for the hips and spine. This movement not only engages the legs and glutes but also promotes improved balance, coordination, and core activation. It’s particularly effective for preparing the body for sports or activities requiring multi-directional movement, while also supporting healthy joint function.
- Stand in a lunge position with a theraband tied around your front knee with the resistance pulling across your body.
- Bend both knees, lowering your back knee to the ground with resisting the pull of the theraband.
- Your front knee should track inline with your second and third toe.
- Slowly return to a standing position.
