Compound Exercises - Step By Step Compound Exercises for the Entire Body

The side lunge with a triceps extension is a great timesaver exercise, allowing you to work the lower body and the triceps in one dynamic exercise. The key to this move is to step out wide into the side lunge, sitting back into the heel to target the glutes while extending the arm out to the side.

1. Begin the move with the feet together, holding a weight in the left hand with the elbow bent.
2. Take a wide step to the right into a side lunge. Your left leg should be straight and your right leg bent (foot facing forward).
3. Sit into the heel of the right foot and lean slightly forward (back flat) as you straighten the left arm, extending it out to the side.
4. Bend the arm and step back to the starting position, completing all reps before switching sides.
5. Complete 1-3 sets of 8-16 reps on each side.
