Instructions

1. Begin in a standing position holding a pair of dumbbells (if using weight) at your sides with your palms facing each other.

2. Step back with one foot into a reverse lunge position, bending both knees to form right angles. Your front thigh should be parallel to the floor, and your back knee should hover just above the ground.

3. As you lunge, keep your upper body upright, and perform a triceps extension by bending your elbows and bringing the dumbbells (or your hands if not using weights) behind your head. Keep your elbows pointing upwards, and do not let them flare outwards.

4. Extend your arms fully to lift the weights back up, engaging the triceps muscle at the back of your upper arm.

5. Return to the standing position by pushing off your back foot while bringing your arms back to your sides.

6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and then switch legs.

Make sure to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise for balance and stability, and focus on a smooth, controlled movement to effectively work the triceps muscles. Adjust the weight of the dumbbells according to your fitness level and ensure that you maintain proper form to avoid injury.
