Teaching someone the curtsy lunge can be a bit tricky, but the benefits are worth it.
It’s different from a regular lunge because crossing the leg behind midline puts the glute med on stretch, which increases the demand on the hips and challenges lumbopelvic control more than your standard lunge.
That’s usually the goal here. Targeting the hips to build better control.
Because when you improve control in one area, it often carries over and helps improve movement in other areas too.
