Primary:Quadriceps
Secondary:Glutes, Hamstrings, Core
Tertiary:Hip Muscles
Stabilizer:Upper Back
📋 How to Perform
- Stand upright with feet hip-width apart.
- Step forward into a lunge with your right leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90 degrees.
- As you lunge, twist your torso to the right side, reaching your right arm towards the front leg.
- Return to the starting position by pushing through your front heel.
- Repeat on the opposite leg, twisting to the left side.
- Perform for the desired number of repetitions on each side.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Twisting from the knee instead of the torso, which lets the front knee cave and lose alignment.
- Swinging into the twist with momentum, which strains the lower back instead of training control.
- Letting the hips turn with the shoulders, which moves the rotation out of the upper torso.
