Side Lunge has a MET of 3, meaning that it is a moderate intensity activity.

There are two levels of Side Lunge, each requiring a different number of repetitions and each taking a different amount of time:

Stand on the Wii Balance Board with your legs apart and your arms at your sides.
Keeping your right foot on the Wii Balance Board, move your left foot to the side, one Wii Balance Board width away.
Raise your left arm straight up so that it is pointing at the ceiling.
Place your right hand on your left hip.
Bend your right knee and, at the same time, bend your body to the right so that your centre of gravity is over your right knee.
Hold the position for a few moments.
Straighten your body and your right knee and lower your left arm.
Do as many repetitions as the level requires.
Switch to the other leg.

You are awarded points for each time the red bar passed the blue line, both for the right leg and the left.

You should not bend your knee any further than your toes.
If you are having problems getting the red bar to pass the blue line, make sure that your back is straight and that your knee is bent far enough.
If you have bent your body and your knee far enough, the elbow of the hand that is on the hip should be on the thigh of the bent knee.
Do not overdo this exercise as you could strain your muscles.
Keep your movements fluid and steady.
