How to Do Reverse Lunge

quadsgluteshamstrings
beginnerBodyweightcompound

Form Cues

  1. 1

    Step straight back, front shin vertical

  2. 2

    Lower back knee toward floor without touching

  3. 3

    Keep your torso upright throughout, resisting any forward lean

  4. 4

    Drive through the front heel to return to standing

Common Mistakes

  • ●

    Front foot too close causing knee to track forward — step back far enough for a vertical shin

  • ●

    Losing balance by rushing the step — control the descent before adding speed

  • ●

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

Equipment Variations

  • ▸

    Dumbbell reverse lunge as loaded progression

  • ▸

    Bulgarian split squat as advanced variation
