Crossing Lunge (TRX / Suspension Trainer)

A dynamic lunge variation where one leg crosses in front of the body, targeting the inner thigh and adductors while improving hip mobility.

Instructions

1. Anchor the TRX straps at mid-length.
2. Stand facing the anchor with one foot slightly forward and one foot slightly back.
3. Hold the handles for balance and support.
4. Step forward and across your body with one leg, crossing in front of your stance leg.
5. Lower your body by bending both knees, creating a lunge position.
6. Keep your torso upright and your core engaged.
7. Drive through your front leg to return to the starting position.
8. Complete all reps on one side, then switch legs.

Tips

• The crossing motion emphasizes the adductors and inner thigh more than standard lunges.
• Maintain upright posture throughout the movement.
• The TRX handles provide balance assistance; use them as needed.
• Control both the descent and ascent phases of the lunge.
• Take a step length that allows your front thigh to reach near parallel with the ground.
