How to do the TRX Lunge Abduction
Begin by securing a suspension trainer or resistance band to an anchor point above the ground.
Place one foot into the loop or handle of the trainer or band, ensuring it's secure around the instep of your foot.
Stand facing away from the anchor point, starting with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Maintain an upright posture with your core engaged and your hands in front of you for balance.
Shift your body weight onto your standing (non-suspended) leg.
Execute the lunge by bending the knee of your standing leg while extending the suspended leg out to the side, away from the anchor point, keeping it straight.
Lower your body by bending your standing leg until your thigh is about parallel to the ground.
Push through the heel of your standing leg to raise your body back up to the starting position while bringing the suspended leg back to the center.
Perform the intended number of repetitions, then switch legs and repeat the exercise.
Keep your movements controlled, and ensure your knee does not go over your toe during the lunge to maintain proper form and reduce the risk of injury.
Remember to adjust the difficulty of the exercise by altering the resistance of the suspension trainer or band and modify the volume of repetitions and sets based on your fitness level.
