At Function Thru Fitness in Green Bay, we use this dynamic stretch with clients of all ages — from student athletes to adults recovering from stiffness and limited mobility. It’s a quick and effective way to prep the body for movement or help it recover from it.
What Is the Spiderman Lunge?
It’s a multi-phase mobility movement that targets:
✔ Hip flexors
✔ Glutes
✔ Hamstrings
✔ Calves
✔ Core stability
This makes it ideal for:
– Pre-workout activation
– Post-workout cooldown

How to Do It
Step forward into a deep lunge — both hands inside the front foot
Drop the back knee and activate the glute of that side
Slide your hand outside the foot, straighten the front leg
Pull the toes back to stretch the calf and hamstring
Flow back into lunge position and switch sides
Tip: Keep the spine long and hips square for best results.
