The Reverse Lunge is a lower body exercise that targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. It also helps improve balance and stability.
How to perform
To perform a Reverse Lunge, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your hands on your hips or by your sides.
2. Take a step back with your right foot, landing on the ball of your foot.
3. Lower your body until your left thigh is parallel to the floor and your right knee is hovering just above the ground.
4. Keep your chest lifted and your core engaged to maintain proper alignment.
5. Push through your left heel to return to the starting position.
6. Repeat the movement on the other side, taking a step back with your left foot.
7. Perform 10-12 repetitions on each leg for a complete set.
Tips:
- Make sure to keep your front knee in line with your ankle and avoid letting it extend past your toes.
- Keep your shoulders back and relaxed throughout the movement.
- To increase the intensity of the exercise, hold onto dumbbells in each hand or add a jump when returning to the starting position.
