How to do the Sliding Lateral Lunge
- Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell close to your chest in goblet position.
- Place one foot on a slider, gliding disc, or towel.
- Keep your chest tall and core engaged.
- Slowly slide the foot outward to the side while bending the opposite knee, lowering your hips into a lateral lunge.
- Keep the working leg’s knee aligned with the toes and avoid letting it collapse inward.
- The non-working leg remains straight and slides smoothly along the floor.
- Push through the heel of the bent leg to return to the starting position while maintaining control of the kettlebell.
