Reverse Lunge

The technique.

1. 01

   Stand tall, holding a dumbbell in each hand, arms extended by your sides.

2. 02

   Step backward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90-degree angles.

3. 03

   Ensure your front knee is directly over your ankle and your back knee hovers above the floor.

4. 04

   Drive through your front heel, pushing off your back foot to return to the starting position.

5. 05

   Alternate legs, maintaining control throughout the movement.

What goes wrong.

• ×Leaning too far forward, putting stress on the front knee.
• ×Knee caving inwards, stressing the knee joint.
• ×Not going deep enough, limiting muscle activation.
• ×Losing balance, indicating weak core or stability.
• ×Rushing the movement, sacrificing control and proper form.
