Difficulty: Intermediate Bosu Side Lunge

Focus: Quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, core stabilizers

Step 2-2.5 feet to one side of the Bosu (Fig.1) keeping the lunging knee over the ankle, inhale as you slowly sit back into a lunge so the knee does not come forward over top of the shoe. The other leg should be slightly bent (Fig. 2). Keeping the weight into the heel of the lunging leg, pause, and then exhale as you slowly straighten the lunging leg. Complete the required repetitions and then repeat on the opposite leg.

To increase the difficulty of this exercise:

  • Hold a medicine ball to challenge your stability and to increase the resistance.


      


Considerations and Contraindications:

  • Ensure that the knee of the leg on the Bosu stays over your ankle.
