Dowel Side Lunge
Exercise Overview
This is a multisegment mobility exercise that targets multiple areas of the body using an exercise dowel. Start by gripping the dowel with both hands at a wide distance. Lunge to one side while rotating the dowel to a vertical position. This will guide one arm to reach up to the ceiling and the other towards the floor simultaneously. Rotate through the spine to get the dowel into a vertical position. Return to neutral position and alternate sides.
