The reverse lunge is an excellent choice of exercise, if you aim to strengthen the muscles around your hip joints. Perhaps even better, practicing the reverse lunge can be a wonderful test of balance.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Stand straight up, with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the dumbbells in your hands and let your arms hang down loosely at your sides.

  2. Step 2

    Take a deep breath and step backward with one foot as far as you can. Keep your leg straight, as it should be throughout the exercise, and don't let your knee twist to one side.

  3. Step 3

    Slowly, lower your body until your hip reaches just below your knee on your forward leg. Look straight ahead and keep your chest square and facing forward.

  4. Step 4

    Maintain this position for a breath or two.

  5. Step 5

    Slowly lift your body back to Step 1, using your forward leg.
