Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Kettlebell Lateral Lunge.
The Kettlebell Lateral Lunge is a lower-body exercise that targets the inner thighs and quadriceps by stepping to the side while holding a kettlebell. The lateral plane of movement improves hip mobility and adductor strength that traditional forward/backward lunges do not fully address.
The Kettlebell Lateral Lunge is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
