Reverse Lunges
Starting Posture
Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your hands on your hips.
How to Exercise
Step back with one foot and lower your back knee until it almost touches the ground. Keep your front knee aligned with your ankle and make sure your torso is upright. Push through your front heel to return to the starting position.
Breath Control
Inhale as you step back and lower down, exhale as you push back up to the starting position.
Common errors
Leaning too far forward, not stepping back far enough, and allowing the front knee to collapse inwards are common errors to watch out for.
Weights
You can hold dumbbells by your sides to add resistance to this exercise. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement.
Grips
If using dumbbells, you can hold them by your sides with a neutral grip.
Variations
To make this exercise more challenging, you can perform reverse lunges on an elevated surface or add a jump at the top of the movement for a plyometric variation.

Comments and tips
Make sure to engage your core throughout the movement to maintain stability. Keep your chest lifted and shoulders relaxed. Focus on maintaining proper form rather than speed.
Cautions
Avoid letting your front knee go past your toes, as this can put extra strain on your knee. If you have any knee issues, consult with a healthcare professional before attempting this exercise.
