Instructions
1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and engage your core muscles.
2. Step backward into a reverse lunge: Take a step backward with one foot, landing on the ball of that foot and lowering into a reverse lunge. Your front knee should be bent at about a 90-degree angle, and your back knee should be hovering just above the ground.
3. Drive and lift: Drive through the heel of your front foot to return to a standing position while simultaneously bringing the knee of your rear leg up toward your chest, creating a high knee position.
4. Lower the leg: Lower the lifted leg back to the starting position in a controlled motion to complete one rep.
5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.
Be sure to keep the chest up and shoulders back throughout the exercise, and focus on smooth, controlled movements to maintain balance. This exercise targets the muscles of the lower body and core while promoting balance and stability.
