Bodyweight Step Up to Deficit Reverse Lunge

BeginnerBodyweight

A single-leg bodyweight movement that pairs a step-up with a rear-foot lunge to hammer the quads while asking the glutes and hamstrings to help. Working one side at a time exposes strength gaps and forces your balance and stability to catch up. No load needed, so it's a solid starting point before adding weight.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set up standing on top of a low, sturdy box or platform.

  2. 2

    Load one leg and lift the other foot clear of the surface.

  3. 3

    Send the free leg backward and touch the ball of that foot to the floor behind the box.

  4. 4

    Bend the standing leg to lower into a deep lunge.

  5. 5

    Push through the working leg to drive back up, finishing by lifting that knee forward in front of you.

  6. 6

    Run all your reps on one side, then swap and repeat.
