How to Do Reverse Body Weight Lunges

  1. Take a big step backwards and sink as deep as possible in a lunge position, without hitting the knee of the back leg in the floor.
  2. Return to the starting position by pushing yourself back with the front leg.

Commentary

The lunge is an exercise that not only strengthens your leg muscles, it can also be used to train your balance, coordination and knee control. You can make the exercise heavier by holding weights in your hands.

An alternative way to perform this exercise is to take a step forward instead of backward.
