How to do the TRX Forward Lunge with Rear Fly
Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and the suspension trainer adjusted to a high position in front of you.
Grasp the handles of the suspension trainer with your palms facing each other, arms extended at shoulder height.
Perform a forward lunge by stepping forward with one leg, lowering your hips toward the floor by bending both knees to approximately 90-degree angles. The back knee should point toward the floor, and the front thigh should be parallel to the ground.
As you lower into the lunge, perform a rear fly movement by extending your arms out to the sides, squeezing the shoulder blades together, and keeping the elbows slightly bent.
Pushing through the heel of your front foot, return to the starting position while lowering your arms back to the starting position.
Repeat the movement, alternating the lunging leg for each repetition.
Ensure to keep your torso upright throughout the exercise, maintain stability with the support of the suspension trainer, and engage your core to avoid excessive swaying. Adjust the difficulty by changing your stance or the length of the suspension trainer. Perform the prescribed number of repetitions and sets based on your fitness level and goals.
