Learn Dead Lunge with Keighty (1 Min)
LEARN | Strength Foundations with Keighty Gallagher • 1m 31s
Like your Single Leg RDL, the Dead Lunge is a great knee and hip stabilizer that targets your quads and core. Enter a kneeling position with one knee raised in front at 90 degrees in a grounded lunge, knee directly above your ankle. Untuck your back foot and slightly lean forward into your leading hip. From here, rise up with steady strength to stand. Try your best to not assist yourself with your back leg as you come back back down to your starting kneeling position. Don’t forget the other side! Keep your core engaged, start slow, and focus on alignment.
