Reverse Lunge

Legs Beginner

A single-leg move that builds balance and unilateral strength while being gentler on the knees than forward lunges.

How to do a Reverse Lunge

  1. Stand tall with feet hip-width apart and core braced.
  2. Step one foot straight back, landing on the ball of that foot.
  3. Lower until both knees form roughly 90-degree angles.
  4. Keep your front knee stacked over your ankle and torso upright.
  5. Push through your front heel to return to standing.
  6. Alternate legs each rep or complete one side first.
