How to Do Crossover Reverse Lunge

Step-by-step instructions, muscles worked and workouts that use the crossover reverse lunge.

How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.
2. Perform a rear lunge by stepping back with one foot and flexing the hips and front knee. As you do so, rotate your torso across the front leg.
3. After a brief pause, return to the starting position and repeat on the other side, continuing in an alternating fashion.

Form tips

• Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
• Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
• Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
• Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
