Cossack Goblet Squats Challenge Thigh Muscles and Balance
Here’s a fun variation on side lunges. The Cossack Goblet squat forces you to balance on one leg and twist the other with your toes up. This is a great workout for the muscles on the outside of the thigh … okay, really for all the muscles in the legs.
You can do this continuously from side to side, as shown here, or stand between reps to slow down a bit. The movement is mostly a side lunge , but requires a little more coordination. I also found that in squatting this movement I lower myself lower than usual in the side lunges.
Read the link below for other lunge options you should be aware of, including the front lunge hip option, which appears to be a deadlift hybrid.
