Dumbbell Reverse Lunge

The dumbbell reverse lunge is a single-leg strength exercise that targets the glutes, hamstrings, and quads. The exercise also improves stability and balance on both sides of the body.

  2. Dumbbell Reverse Lunge
    Push your chest out and take a large step backward, lowering your rear knee toward the ground while keeping your front shin as vertical as possible. Push yourself back to the starting position, and repeat for the desired reps before switching legs.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Do not let the front leg's knee cave inward.
  • Make sure you descend into the lunge by dropping your hips, rather than pushing the knee forward.
  • Don't let the torso drop forward.
