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.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
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.
Step2
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.
Step3
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.
Step4
Maintain this position for a breath or two.
Step5
Slowly lift your body back to Step 1, using your forward leg.
