Reverse Lunge with Bent-Arm Lateral Raise
How to Do It
- Holding light-medium weights with bent arms, step back several feet with the right leg.
- Bend both knees and lower straight down into a lunge, keeping the front knee behind the front toe.
- As you lower down, raise your arms to shoulder level, keeping arms bent and forearms parallel to one another.
- Lower the arms and push back up, bringing the right leg back to start.
- 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.
