Reverse Lunge

The reverse lunge is a single leg squatting exercise which targets a large percentage of your lower body muscles. Starting in the standing position take a big step back behind you and drop straight down into the bottom of a lunge position. Your front heel should remain grounded and your front shin vertical. Allow your arms to swing forwards to act as a counterweight as you go. Hold the bottom position for a few seconds to increase difficulty. Drive back up to the standing position keeping your knees tracking in-line with your toes throughout the exercise. If you struggle for balance hold onto a wall or fixed stable object as you perform the exercise. To increase the difficulty of this move you can hold the bottom position for longer or hold weights in each hand.
