Reverse Lunge
I love this exercise.
It doesn’t hurt my knees as much as a forward lunge and hits my glutes more.
A reverse lunge is a lower body exercise that targets the muscles of the legs, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. It is a great exercise for improving balance, stability, and leg strength. Here's how to perform a reverse lunge:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands on your hips.
Take a step backward with your right foot and lower your body until your left thigh is parallel to the ground.
Push off your left foot to return to the starting position.
Repeat the lunge with the opposite leg.
Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions.
Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your reverse lunges:
Keep your chest lifted and your core engaged throughout the exercise.
Make sure your front knee is aligned over your ankle as you lunge.
Keep your weight evenly distributed between both feet as you lunge.
Don't let your back knee touch the ground as you lunge.
With practice, you'll be able to perform reverse lunges with good form and reap the benefits of this effective lower body exercise.
