Instructions
Preparation
- Facing low pulley, kneel to attach cable belt or dip belt around waist. Place hand(s) on ballet bar or machine (not on guide rod!) for balance. Stand away from pulley with one leg forward and opposite leg to rear.
Execution
- Lower body by flexing knee and hip of front leg until knee of rear leg is almost in contact with floor. Return to original straddle position by extending hip and knee of forward leg. Repeat. Continue with other leg in opposite lunge position.
Comments
- Keep torso upright during lunge; flexible hip flexors are important. Forward knee should point same direction as foot throughout movement. With feet further apart: Gluteus Maximus is emphasized, Quadriceps are less emphasized. Also know as Cable Lunge.
