How to Do a Reverse Lunge - Video Tutorial

The reverse lunge is a "must" for you to include in your workout routine for your next leg day. It challenges not only your leg and glutes muscles, but also your core strength. Doing lunges going forward is hard enough - try going backwards! If you are participating in our newest challenge, you can't miss this video - it's definitely an exercise included in the She Sweats Workout Plans!

Watch this video tutorial to learn the proper form for a Reverse or Backward Lunge:

Want to challenge yourself? Here are a few ways to up the intensity on these lunges:

1. Add weight - dumbbells and kettlebells work great!

2. Add a pulse - come up and down a few more times once you are in your lunge to really challenge your muscles.

3. Add a shoulder press - work your shoulders by adding bands or dumbbells while also increasing your core strength and balance. Be sure to do the "press up" as you bend down into your lunge.

Glute Exercise - Donkey Kickbacks

Looking for a great glute exercise that doesn't require any equipment? Try Donkey Kickbacks! You can use your own bodyweight or add a weight for an even better burn! You will find these in our She Sweats workout plans and we wanted to provide a visual so you know to perform them correctly.

Donkey Kickbacks or Glute Kickbacks

1. Kneel on the ground on all fours like you see above.

2. Lift your leg up until it is at a 90 degree angle. If you are preforming these weighted your calf will be bent in order to hold the weight but if you are doing these using only your bodyweight try to keep your calf perpendicular.

3. Slowly lower your leg back to the starting position.

4. You can either finish all prescribed repetitions on the same leg or alternate legs.

He and She Tip:

Really think about the muscle that you are working. Squeeze your glutes and stay in control of the movement the entire time.
