Reverse Lunge (Leg Kick)
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The reverse lunge with a leg kick combines the benefits of a standard reverse lunge with the added challenge of balance and coordination from the kick. This exercise primarily strengthens the lower body, focusing on the quadriceps and glutes, while also engaging the core for stability.
How to do it
- Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Step back with one leg into a reverse lunge, bending both knees to lower your hips.
- Drive through the heel of the front foot to stand up, bringing the back leg forward into a kick.
- Return to the starting position smoothly and repeat on the other side.
