Exercise Description:
A reverse lunge is a type of lunge exercise where the movement is performed in the opposite direction to a traditional lunge.
To perform a reverse lunge, start by standing with your feet hip-width apart and your hands on your hips. Step backward with one foot, lowering your body until your front thigh is parallel to the ground and your back knee is hovering just above the ground. Push through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position, and repeat on the other side.
Reverse lunges can be done with or without added weight, such as dumbbells or a barbell, and can be incorporated into a variety of strength training routines. This exercise targets the muscles of the legs and buttocks.
