Hannah Demonstrates the Dumbbell Reverse Lunges TECHNIQUE: Holding dumbbells at either side of the body. Put one knee forward and lower the body by bending both knees. ADVANTAGES: This is a great movement to work the quads, core and glutes. A common movement pattern and can be replicated with several different pieces of equipment. FAULTS: There are many potential faults with the reverse lunge, it is important to keep a vertical line running from the front knee to the ankle. Keeping the back knee and toe facing forward, as well as not extending the knee too far back. The knee should lower right below the hips. SCALING: This can be made more difficult by using a barbell or heavier dumbbells and can be made easier by doing step ups or using no weight.
