How do you perform Weighted Reverse Lunge?

  • Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  • Hold a weight on your shoulders or next to your body with each hand.
  • Step one foot back and bend both knees to get into a lunge.
  • Your back knee touches the ground (or just not if you don’t have a soft surface).
  • Both knees are at a 90° angle.
  • Use your arms to keep your balance.
  • Push yourself up with your front leg and return to the starting position.
  • Keep your chest out and your abs tense.

Common faults

  • Knees tuck in during the movement.
  • Incorrect foot position causing you to lose your balance.
  • Insufficient depth in the movement. Both knees are at 90°.
  • Insufficient trunk stabilization during the movement.
  • Bend forward with the torso.
