Band Assisted Lateral Lunge

Attach a resistance band to a sturdy anchor at about waist height and loop it around your hips, positioning yourself so the band pulls you toward the anchor. Step away from the rack to create tension. Step laterally towards the anchor with the inside leg, allowing the band to assist your movement into the lunge. Keep your chest tall, hips back, and foot of the lunging leg flat as you descend. The trailing leg remains straight with the toes pointing forward. Drive through the heel of your bent leg to return to the starting position, controlling the motion as the band resists this movement. Maintain alignment through your knee, hip, and ankle throughout the movement.
