Lunge Hold

Strength Exercises
Written By Alyx Hough

Strength Exercise - 8

Purpose
The Lunge Hold builds static strength, balance, and control through the foot and ankle while the lower body is placed under sustained load. By holding the lunge position on the Axis Pro, this exercise reinforces alignment, stability, and confidence in single-leg weight-bearing positions.

How to Perform
Stand in a staggered stance with the affected foot placed on the Axis Pro and the opposite foot positioned behind you on the ground. Lower into a lunge by bending both knees until you reach a comfortable depth where you can maintain balance and control of the board.

Once in position, hold the lunge while keeping the front foot stable on the Axis Pro, the torso upright, and the hips level. Maintain steady breathing and controlled pressure through the foot.

Hold for the prescribed duration, then carefully return to standing. Switch sides if appropriate.

Coaching Cues

  • Keep the front knee aligned over the toes

  • Maintain steady contact through the foot on the Axis Pro

  • Keep the torso upright and hips level

  • Use support if balance is compromised
