How to do it

  1. Face the anchor and hold a handle in each hand for light support.
  2. Stand on one leg and step the other back into a lunge.
  3. Lower until your front thigh is about parallel, staying balanced on the front leg.
  4. Drive through your front heel back to standing, then finish reps and switch legs.

The one cue that matters

Use the straps to assist balance only. Keep the load on your front leg, not your arms.

FAQ

What muscles does the TRX Balance Lunge work?

The TRX Balance Lunge primarily works the Quads with Glutes assisting.

What if I can't do many reps yet?

Shorten the range or use an easier variation, and stop 1 to 2 reps before failure. Reps build fast when you train just shy of your limit.

One side at a time?

Yes, it's a unilateral movement. Start with your weaker side and match the reps with your stronger side so no side gets ahead.
