Reverse Lunge Exercise with High Knee by Ryan Marrin
The reverse lunge is a great leg and hip strengthening exercise that is a progression from the static lunge. The dynamic nature of the exercise will challenge your balance and increase your heart rate! You should not feel any pain in your knee, hip or back when doing this exercise so please talk to your therapist if you are experiencing
any symptoms.
How-To Ste
- Start by standing tall with feet hip width apart
- Step one leg straight back behind you (not too close but not too far!)
- Bend both knees simultaneously and aim to end with both knees in a 90/90 position. Do NOT tap your knee on the ground!
- Drive through the front leg and come back up into a single leg standing position
- Repeat by putting the same leg back into the lunge position
*Never do an exercise that causes you pain*
