There are several variations of the movement, adapted for beginners and advanced athletes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exercise_structure\"><\/span>Exercise structure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">What muscles are involved in side lunges? Unlike classic ones, side lunges allow you to additionally work out the inner thigh and gluteus medius muscles.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"CENTER\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6416 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunges.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunges.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunges-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunges-1024x606.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">If we analyze the work of the main muscles during the movement, we get the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">When moving the leg to the side, the gluteus medius and small muscles work<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">When squatting on the abducted leg, the hamstrings work<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Squat Rise. The quadriceps and gluteus maximus muscle work here<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">When the leg returns to the body, the adductor muscle works<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Keep in mind that the calves, abs and lower back muscles work in the same way.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I would also like to mention the outer surface of the thigh and the breeches zone. Side lunges are often used to correct the problem area. Let me clarify the situation. Body fat does not disappear with muscle training. Losing fat requires an energy deficit, which, in particular, can be created by intense muscle training.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">However, 70% of success depends on reducing the calorie intake. The difficulty of the impact of physical exercises on the breeches zone is due to the fact that the outer surface of the thigh is not a muscle, but a tendon, on top of which fat is located.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"CENTER\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6417 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunges-muscle-work.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunges-muscle-work.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunges-muscle-work-576x768.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">For slimming thighs, you should train in a fat burning regimen. That is, with a lot of repetitions and at a pace above average. Do at least three sets. Cardio is a great way to speed up your metabolism. For visible and quick weight loss, it is advisable to do cardio for 30-40 minutes 3-4 times a week.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">If your goal is to improve the shape of the legs and buttocks, the right-left lunges are a great tool, since they involve several muscle groups at once. Use 8-12 reps, slow pace, and weights as needed. Do at least 3-4 sets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exercise_technique\"><\/span>Exercise technique<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Lunges to the side are performed from a standing position. Feet are shoulder-width apart.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\"><div class=\"wpsm-numbox wpsm-style4\"><span class=\"num\">1<\/span>Spread your feet slightly to the sides and straighten your back. You can bend your elbows in front of your chest, place your palms on your belt, or stretch them along your torso, whichever is more comfortable for you. Tighten your abs. The knees are soft, the stance is springy.<\/div>\n<p lang=\"en-US\"><div class=\"wpsm-numbox wpsm-style4\"><span class=\"num\">2<\/span>As you inhale, take a wide step with your left foot to the side. Bend your working knee slightly, gently lower your foot to the floor, transfer the center of gravity to the leg and squat to a right angle at the knee. Try to keep your back straight. Only a slight forward tilt is allowed. The other leg should be perfectly straight and extended to the side.<\/div>\n<p lang=\"en-US\"><div class=\"wpsm-numbox wpsm-style4\"><span class=\"num\">3<\/span>As you exhale, vigorously extend your knee and return to the starting position. You should be able to feel how your glutes and quads are working.<\/div>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"CENTER\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6418 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunges-exercise-technique.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunges-exercise-technique.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunges-exercise-technique-768x571.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunges-exercise-technique-1024x761.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Do the required number of reps with each leg. Take a break, doing a light stretch of the muscles, and do another 1-2 sets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Workout_complicated_options\"><\/span>Workout complicated options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Practice shows that it is quite easy to master side lunges. It is possible that after a few months you will notice that the exercise without weight does not give the required load on the muscles. This indicates that it is time for you to move on to the more advanced lunges.<\/p>\n<p align=\"CENTER\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6419 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunge-variations.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunge-variations.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunge-variations-768x424.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-lunge-variations-1024x565.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">In addition to increasing the number of sets, using weights is a good way to increase the load. The dumbbell side lunge is performed in the same way as the classic version of the exercise. You can lower your arms along the body, raise them to your shoulders, or take one heavier dumbbell and hold it in bent arms in front of your chest.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">You can combine lunges with biceps curls. In this case, the dumbbells should be taken with a reverse grip. Stretch your arms down in front of you. When performing a lunge, you bend your arms, bringing the dumbbells closer to your chest.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">You can also do barbell side lunges. In such a case, you additionally load your back and abs. The movement helps to develop a sense of balance.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"CENTER\"><iframe title=\"Barbell Side Lunges\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CyyhZvaW9co?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Barbell side lunges are the most effective muscle building exercise for this exercise. But it is better to start training with regular lunges. It&#8217;ll help you master the technique and avoid many mistakes. Once you have mastered the movement and your muscles are strengthened, you can do lunges with extra weight.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Correcting_errors\"><\/span>Correcting errors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Lunges are considered a basic exercise and are recommended for both beginners and experienced athletes. In order to achieve maximum results, you should eliminate all possible mistakes and hone your technique of movement:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Do the exercise smoothly. The jerky movements prevent the muscles from reaching their peak contraction and can injure the knee<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Look straight ahead and do not slouch. Rounding the back and lower back can negatively affect the condition of the spine<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Do not tilt your torso forward too much, do not extend your knee beyond the toe line, and do not lower your pelvis below knee level. Usually these mistakes are made at the same time, since if one is made, others will automatically occur. For this reason, keep an eye on the position of your core, pelvis, and knees<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Don&#8217;t take too short or too long a step. It will be difficult for you to maintain your balance, which will make the movement less effective<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Try doing the exercise in front of a mirror. It&#8217;ll give you better control over your actions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Improper technique is especially dangerous when you are working with dumbbells or a barbell. Doing the exercise incorrectly will result in poor results and injury.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"CENTER\"><iframe title=\"How to Do Side Lunges for Lean Legs | Health\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rvqLVxYqEvo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Performing side lunges regularly strengthens the muscles in the lower body.
