Reverse Lunge Tutorial

The reverse lunge is another movement which works as an antidote to the posture our modern life puts us in.  It opens the hips, strengthens and tones most of the lower body while improving balance.

Watch the video tutorial or follow the description below to perform the reverse lunge safely and effectively.

 

1. Set Up

Stand in an upright position with your hands on your hips.
