When performed correctly, lunges can help you build single-leg strength and improve your balance while boosting your cardio. If you add a barbell or hold heavy dumbbells by your sides, the lunge can become an effective muscle-builder.

<h2>How to Do Reverse Lunges with Correct Form </h2> To perform a reverse lunge: Stand with your feet at shoulder width. Squeeze your glutes and the muscles of your upper back, and look straight ahead at a neutral point.You can start lunging with only your bodyweight or add weight using dumbbells or kettlebells held in different positions.Whatever you use, start with two dumbbells held at hip level.Take a step back with one leg, toe first, and land on the ground without slamming your knee.Bend your knees to form right angles with each leg.Drive off the ground with your front foot, and step forward with your rear leg into the starting position.To stay balanced, keep your torso upright by squeezing your stomach muscles.

Instead, keep your shoulders back and head up as you complete the lunge to feel a stretch in front of your hip and thigh muscles. When you look forward, your body should follow. Keep your head up as you walk to avoid hunching over.

Start in a reverse lunge, and step your back foot over your other leg.Turn your eyes away from the forward position while also changing the direction of your hips and shoulders.The front leg should remain planted. This step is called a curtsy lunge.Alternate between curtsy lunge and reverse lunge by stepping back into a reverse lunge position and stepping back up and returning to a standing alignment.Complete three sets of 8-10 reps on each side. <h2>Takeaway</h2> Reverse lunges can be a great addition to your routine of leg exercises.

View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Like all other exercises, the reverse lunge can become tedious after a while. Just like alternating between squats and deadlifts, replacing a standard quad exercise once in a while with a reverse lunge can be a refreshing change.
