Wall-Supported Narrow Lunge

Narrow Lunge with Wall Support Instructions

Starting Position:

1. Stand facing a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Take a step back with your right foot and place your hands on the wall at shoulder height for balance.
3. Ensure your left foot is forward, and your body is leaning slightly towards the wall.

Movement Steps:

1. Lower into Lunge: Bend your left knee to lower your body into a lunge position. Ensure your left knee is aligned over your left ankle and does not pass your toes.
2. Maintain Support: Keep your hands on the wall for support. Use the wall to help maintain your balance as you lower.
3. Hold Position: Hold the lunge position for a moment, feeling the stretch in your thigh and hip.
4. Return to Start: Push through your left heel to return to the starting position while bringing your right foot back forward next to your left foot.
5. Repeat: Perform the movement for 8-12 repetitions before switching to the other leg.

Tips:

- Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the exercise.
- Ensure your movements are controlled to avoid injury.
- If you're a beginner, you can start by doing this exercise without deepening the lunge, gradually increasing the depth as you become more comfortable.
