Reverse Lunges Alternating Legs

• Stand tall holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Engage your core.

• Step back with one leg into a reverse lunge, bending both knees to 90 degree angles.

• As you lunge, descend until your back knee nearly touches the floor. Keep your front knee behind toes. At the same time, move your hips slightly back, this will help engage your gluten as you come up and protect your back.

• Push back up to standing by driving through your front heel. Return to start position.

• Alternate by stepping back with the opposite leg and repeating the reverse lunge.

• Maintain an upright torso throughout the movement, keeping your chest lifted.

• Add the dumbbells for increased resistance and to work your arm muscles too.

• Step back into the lunge rather than letting your momentum bring you down.

• Push back up using your glutes and front leg. Drive your heel into the ground.

• Reverse lunges target your glutes, quads, and hamstrings. Use weights suited to your fitness level.

• Maintain proper form on both sides to evenly work your leg and core muscles.
