Reverse Lunges are a joint-friendly alternative to forward lunges that target the quads, glutes, and hamstrings. Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, then step one foot backward and lower your hips until both knees are bent at about 90 degrees. Keep your chest upright and your front knee stacked over your ankle. Push through the front heel to return to standing, then repeat on the other side. Gymcheq highlights reverse lunges as a safe, effective move for balance, stability, and lower-body strength.
