Train your legs and build your strength with the reverse lunge exercises

the Reverse Lunge is the best lunge exercises!

Shape your legs, tone your butt and build functional strength, with the Reverse Lunge. Lunges are an exceptional exercise for conditioning your lower body. They stress the muscles from a perfect angle to develop incredible shape and symmetry in your legs, thighs and butt.

Because they require balance, lunges also build neuromuscular and functional capacity - helping your body go through its daily motions and letting you pick up your children with ease.

If you are looking to lose weight, you want to look more stylish in shorts, or improve your sports performance , reverse lunge  should be part of your training program.

In my opinion, the Ultimate Lunge is the Reverse Lunge. There are many types of lunges, and many ways to perform them all, but now we are talking only about one -  who  is the reverse lunge. 

Here's why I chose this one (the Reverse Lunge): 

- Because you have more balance and support, it's easy to learn and perform. In addition, you have less dynamic process during the reverse lunge exercise which provides more effective stress to the muscles and yields better results.

- It's safer and softer on your knees because your back foot absorbs the ballistic shock of the lunge step. (Contrasted to the front lunge where impact shock can transfer to the knee even if you land heel to toe.)

- It creates muscular balance by initiating the movement backward as opposed to most other exercise movement patterns that take you forward and bias your musculature toward forward motion.

How To Do A Reverse Lunge Correctly?

- Run forward, with your feet shoulder width apart, and your arms at your side.

- Step back with one leg far enough to allow your knees to bend at 90 degree angles. You can simultaneously bring your arms up to act as a slight counter balance. If you want a greater challenge, hold light weights in your hands.

- You're in correct position at the bottom of your lunge when your front knee is directly over the ankle.

IMPORTANT - To return to the initial position, start dropping your arms and lift the heel of your front leg. Do not turn your back leg. This simple advice will greatly enhance the effectiveness of your reverse lunge, giving you a much tighter skinny butt and get much better results in half the time.

Try doing reverse lunges 3 times a week, non-consecutive days. Work up to 2 sets of 10 repetitions for each leg. After a month, I think you will be amazed at the impact of the reverse lunge will have on your body.
