Side Lunge

(The below is if the target leg was the RIGHT leg)

Spring Load:

- 0 white springs (challenging)

- 1 white springs (standard)

- 2 white springs (modification)

Side Lunge Setup:

- Starting at the front of the Xformer facing the right of the studio, place your right foot on the carriage all the way forward and your left foot on the front platform all the way back

- Lower your body down and out towards the right sitting down and back while keeping your left leg straight

Side Lunge Execution:

- Exhale through your lips as you begin pressing down through your right heel until you come up 95% of the way so you don’t lock out your knees

- Breathe in through your nose as you lower your body down and out towards the right sitting down and back while keeping your left leg straight

Important Notes:

- Keep your gaze forward

- Do not swing the carriage in too quickly. Take your time pressing down through your heels until you come up 95% of the way up to keep the leg working

- You can position your arms like goal posts or airplane wings to balance out the weight and keep you a little more stable
