A reverse walking lunge takes concentration, strength and balance to execute correctly. There are a few variations of this exercise, and they each have different difficulty levels. Follow these steps to do the reverse walking lunge.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Handheld weights (optional)
  1. Step 1

    Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart and put your left foot out behind you. Only the front of your foot to touch the ground. Bring the knee toward the ground, bending both knees.

  2. Step 2

    Lift back up, place your heel on the ground and move your right foot beside the left. Pause to get your balance, move the right foot behind the left and do another lunge.

  3. Step 3

    Do as many reps as you can. Keep your eyes looking in front of you, your back straight and let your arms hang at your sides.

  4. Step 4

    Try another version of the reverse walking lunge to increase the difficulty. While you move one of your feet backward, lightly touch the ground with it as it passes the other foot, or you bring it all the way back without touching the ground. To get the best results, do different versions of the reverse walking lunge exercise each time you work out.

  5. Step 5

    Hold your arms in different positions and see if it intensifies the exercise. Hold your arms straight out beside you or place your hands behind your head. Alternatively, you can bend your arms at 90-degree angles and bring the alternate arm back when you do a lunge.

Tips & Warnings
  • Try holding handheld weights with your arms at your sides to increase resistance.
