2. Take a wide step to the side with one foot, keeping the other foot in place and your toes pointing forward.
3. Bend the knee of the stepping leg to perform a lateral (side) lunge. Ensure your bent knee does not extend beyond your toes.
4. As you lower into the lunge, rotate your torso and hips towards the same side as the stepping leg. Keep your arms extended in front of you and turn your shoulders with the rotation to engage the core.
5. Hold the rotation for a moment to feel a stretch in the inner thigh and gluteal region.
6. Push off with the stepping foot to return to the starting position, un-rotating your hips and shoulders as you come up.
7. Repeat the movement on the opposite side.
8. Alternate sides for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure to maintain a straight back and engage your core throughout the exercise, and make sure your movements are controlled, especially during the rotation to protect your lower back and knee joints.
