Side Lunge Benefits

 

  • By doing the side lunges you increase your joint stability as you recruit smaller muscles around the hip joint that are responsible for keeping your joint stable.
  • Side lunges develop balance, stability, and strength. They work your inner and outer thighs and may even help to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
  • Side lunges, which is a versatile exercise, can be dynamic warm-up before the workout when applied slowly, but when applied quickly, you can turn it into a cardio exercise.
