Reverse lunges! These are great for lower body strength and balance. They are super effective even without weights.
First, stand near something you can touch/hold on to for balance. Don’t use it to pull yourself up (unless you have to). But, the first rule is do not fall!
With that established, let’s lunge! To do the reverse lunge, follow these steps.
- from a tall standing position, step one foot behind you
- aim to land with a 90 degree angle in both knees
- knee should be close to the floor but not touching
- step forward as if you are on railroad tracks, not a tight rope
- press into the ground through your heel and big toe, and squeeze your glute to return to your start position.
Let’s do 10 on each side. If that’s really challenging, rest as you need.
