How to Do Dumbbell Reverse Lunge

Form Cues

1. 1

   Step straight back, keep front shin vertical

2. 2

   Lower back knee toward the floor without touching

3. 3

   Keep your torso upright throughout — resist the urge to lean forward as you descend

4. 4

   Drive through the front heel to return to standing, not the toes

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Letting the front knee cave inward — increases knee injury risk, focus on knee tracking over second toe

• ●

  Taking too short a step back — a short step forces the knee past the toes and loads it unnecessarily

• ●

  Pushing off the back foot to help stand back up — the front leg should do essentially all the work
