2. Side lunges
This exercise works the inner thigh muscles just right. It’s very easy to do, but if you don’t do it right, it can hurt your back and knees and be less effective.
Mistakes
- The foot of the leg that is extended doesn’t touch the floor all the way, and the toes of the other leg point outward.
- The knee of the leg that is being supported is moved to the side.
- The back is tilted forward.
The right way to do it
- Take a step to the side and pull your pelvis back so that the thigh of the leg you’re standing on is almost parallel to the floor.
- Both feet are flat on the floor, and the toes are pointed forward. It has a straight back.
- The supporting leg’s knee is higher than the foot, and the lower leg is straight up and down.
