Curtsy lunges are an excellent exercise for targeting the glutes while also engaging the quads, hamstrings, and inner thighs.
By stepping diagonally back and across the body, curtsy lunges activate the gluteus medius and minimus, which are often neglected in traditional lunges.
This movement pattern helps to sculpt and strengthen the entire glute complex, leading to improved muscle definition and symmetry.
Additionally, curtsy lunges promote hip stability and mobility, enhancing overall lower body function and reducing the risk of injury.
Incorporating curtsy lunges into your workout routine can effectively contribute to achieving stronger, firmer, and more shapely glutes over time.
Only one more morning energy cheers after this ! Happy Norway day or something 😂 & since I only did half the workout I wanted to last night, I did more legs and glutes this morning, which I guess isn’t so bad since all I had was a nap before I had to be here early 🥴#syttendemai #norwayconstitutionday #morningworkout #happymonday #newweeknewgoals #letsgetit #smithmachine #lunges #curtsylunges #hipthrusts #buildthebooty #planetfitness #melandkelshow #morningting #morningcheers (at Planet Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-U3waA3QA/?igshid=vj4z35pzt0qp

#Lunges whether #ReverseLunges #ForwardLunges or #SideLunges are great to #WorkTheLegs One type of lunge that has become popular is the #CurtsyLunge I am not a fan of #CurtsyLunges I believe the risk to the #Meniscus of the knees out weighs the benefit of the #Exercise I am open to hear otherwise, so feel free to comment.

Little leg workout today! My allergies were attacking so bad today. I haven’t had that happen in yearsssss. I totally planned on doing more with my workout today but the Benadryl knocked me out when I got home from work 😢 I just woke up at 9:30pm 🥴 I feel better though 😂 I do finally feel like I’m showing more definition where I didn’t before. Planned on doing the stairclimber too but that obviously didn’t happen. Today wasn’t a fail, but just documenting that it wasn’t the hardest or best that I wanted it to be considering I was so pumped for a new month to start and even kept saying yesterday’s quote “you didn’t wake up today to be mediocre!!” 😂 and I was ! Meh!! #blameitonthebenadryl #knockedout #allergyseason #hellomarch #planetfitness #hipabduction #squats #curtsylunges #mediocremonday #betterlucktomorrow #nationalpigday #march1st #nationalpeanutbutterloversday #keylimebang #reignenergydrink #reignbodyfuel #bangenergy 😋 btw key lime pie bang is so yummy!

Just finished #day76 #legday with @80dayobsession One of my favorites although my forearms get tired from carrying the weights before my legs do.
