Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The kettlebell rear lunge is a dynamic exercise that targets the lower body. It improves balance, stability, and leg strength by working both the quadriceps and the gluteal muscles effectively. Holding a kettlebell adds resistance, enhancing muscle engagement and promoting core stability.
How to do it
- Stand upright holding a kettlebell close to your chest with both hands.
- Step back with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about 90 degrees.
- Maintain an upright torso and engage your core throughout the movement.
- Push through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.
- Repeat on the other leg, alternating sides for the desired number of reps.
