GLUTES

Medicine Ball Reverse Lunge

IntermediateMedicine ball

A reverse lunge holding a medicine ball at your chest for added resistance. Stepping backward puts more emphasis on the glutes and hamstrings than a forward lunge does. The ball lets you load the movement beyond bodyweight to build lower body strength.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.

  2. 2

    Hold a medicine ball in both hands in front of your chest.

  3. 3

    Take a long step backward with one leg and lower that back knee toward the floor.

  4. 4

    Pause briefly at the lowest point.

  5. 5

    Drive your front heel into the ground, using your glutes, hamstrings, and quads, to step forward to standing.

  6. 6

    Alternate legs and repeat, keeping your chest up and core braced throughout.
