TRX As A Rehab Tool - Side Lunge

Continuing on with our sample of TRX exercises for the rehab setting, I am going to show you a lateral lunge. A lateral lunge is a good functional activity that simulates many functional activities throughout the day. For example reaching for an object behind the couch or quickly moving out of the way of a moving object.

TRX Lateral Lunge:

Position 1: Standing holding straps taught, lean back slightly while standing with feet together. Pull belly tight. 


Position 2: Take a step to the right with 80% of weight on right lower extremity. Use straps as needed, while keeping straps taught. Point foot lateral slightly, making sure to point knee towards foot. Pull belly tight.  Return to neutral position. Mirror position to left as well.
