Lateral Lunge | Corrective Exercise for Hip Mobility & Frontal Plane Strength
In this video, Dr. Ken Kaufman, sports chiropractor and MLB consultant, demonstrates proper form and technique to help you move stronger and reduce risk of injury.
✅ Why It Works:
Strengthens glutes, adductors, and quads in the frontal plane
Enhances hip mobility and dynamic balance
Improves coordination for athletic movements and daily activities
Helps prevent knee and low-back strain from poor movement mechanics
🏋️♂️ How to Perform:
Start standing tall with feet shoulder-width apart
Step laterally to one side, bending your knee while keeping the opposite leg straight
Keep your chest tall and core engaged
Push through your heel to return to center
Perform 2–3 sets of 8–12 reps per side
💡 Pro Tip: Keep your foot flat, hips back, and core tight—this movement is about control, not speed.
