How to do it
The Reverse Lunge with Rotation is an effective exercise for targeting multiple muscle groups, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and core, while also improving balance and coordination.
Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at your sides. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your spine throughout the movement. Take a large step backward with your right foot, landing on the ball of your foot.
Lower your body by bending both knees until your left thigh is parallel to the ground and your right knee is hovering just above the floor. Your front knee should be stacked directly over your ankle. Ensure that your back knee is bent at a 90-degree angle, with your shin perpendicular to the ground.
Once you're in the lunge position, rotate your torso towards the left side, twisting from your waist. Reach your arms straight out in front of you, then rotate your torso and arms together to the left side. Keep your core engaged and your hips facing forward as you twist.
Slowly rotate back to the center, bringing your arms back to the starting position.
Press through your front heel to push yourself back up to the starting position, bringing your right foot back to meet your left foot.
Repeat the movement on the other side, stepping back with your left foot and rotating towards the right side. Inhale as you step back into the lunge position, and exhale as you rotate your torso.
