Instructions
1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart and your arms by your sides.
2. Take a step backward with one foot and lower your hips toward the ground to drop into a reverse lunge. Your front knee should be bent at approximately a 90-degree angle, directly above your ankle, while your back knee slightly hovers above the floor.
3. As you lower into the lunge, simultaneously raise your arms straight overhead. Keep your upper body straight and maintain tightness in your core to support your balance.
4. Hold the lunge with an overhead reach for a moment, feeling a stretch through the front of your hips and engaging your core.
5. Push through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position, lowering your arms back to your sides.
6. Repeat on the opposite leg, alternating legs with each rep.
Perform the exercise for the desired number of reps and sets, maintaining good form throughout the workout.
