Reverse Lunge with Bent-Arm Lateral Raise

How to Do It

  1. Holding light-medium weights with bent arms, step back several feet with the right leg.
  2. Bend both knees and lower straight down into a lunge, keeping the front knee behind the front toe.
  3. As you lower down, raise your arms to shoulder level, keeping arms bent and forearms parallel to one another.
  4. Lower the arms and push back up, bringing the right leg back to start.
  5. Continue with all reps on one leg then switch sides, performing 1 to 3 sets of 12-16 repetitions, with a 20-30 second rest between sets.

This exercise works the quads, hamstrings, calves and glutes, as well as the shoulders.
