2 Types of Reverse Lunges to Develop Your Glutes

Reverse lunges are a great exercise for targeting the glutes (buttocks) and lower body muscles. Here are two types of reverse lunges and a guide for each:

1. Step Back Lunge:

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart, hands on your hips, or at your sides with or without weights.
• Step back with your right leg and lower your body until your left thigh is parallel to the ground and your right knee is hovering just above the ground.
• Push through your left heel to return to the starting position.
• Repeat on the other side by stepping back with your left leg.

2. Walking Reverse Lunge:

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart, hands on your hips or at your sides.
• Step back with your right leg and lower your body until your left thigh is parallel to the ground and your right knee is hovering just above the ground.
• Push through your left heel to return to the starting position and immediately step back with your left leg.
• Continue alternating legs and taking steps back as you perform the exercise.

Remember to keep your core engaged and your chest lifted throughout the exercise. You can also hold dumbbells or a barbell at your sides for added resistance. Start with a moderate number of reps and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the exercise.
