side lunge

Sideways leg bend

A side lunge is an exercise movement where you step laterally and bend that knee while keeping the other leg straight, lowering your body to one side.

It targets the inner thighs, glutes, and quadriceps: Add side lunges to your leg day routine.

The movement builds lateral strength and hip mobility.
