3 of 3Cross Back Lunge to Lateral Knee Raise There aren’t many “bad” exercises, just exercises our body is prepared for or not. Members don’t need a lot of cross back to get a lot out of this lunge. We want to build them to be more resilient and handle the stress of anti-rotation and keep them pain free. Just some considerations and angles to consider when it comes to challenging the stability of this movement, especially before loading it.
