Reverse Lunge
- Beginner
- Home
- Gym
The reverse lunge steps one foot backward into a split stance and lowers you down under control, working one leg at a time. It trains the quads, glutes and hamstrings together while challenging your balance. Beginners use it at home or in the gym for reps, as a warmup, a main move or a finisher.
