How to Perform a Cable Lunge

The lunge is the most comprehensive and versatile leg exercise. Adding the resistance of an exercise cable will be more challenging for your legs and your core. Dumbbells can also be used to add weight, but they won't challenge your core as much as cable lunges.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Resistance cable
  1. Step 1

    Stand in right lunge position with a resistance cable under your front foot or wrapped around an object on the floor a few feet in front of you. Keep your right foot flat on the cable and your left heel lifted onto the ball of the foot. Hold a handle of the cable in each hand. Place your arms out in front of you. There should be tension in the cable.

  2. Step 2

    Bend your left knee and lower it to 1 inch from the floor. Feel the tension in the cable lessen. Keep your back straight. Do not allow your right knee to go past your ankle.

  3. Step 3

    Exhale and push through your left foot until you are in the start position. The cable should be tight enough to force your legs to work to lift it. Relax your arms; they are there just to hold the cable in position, not to lift it.

  4. Step 4

    Switch legs after 10 repetitions and put the cable under your left foot, then do 10 reps on the left side.
