Dumbbell Reverse Lunge from Deficit
The dumbbell reverse lunge stepping back off a low platform; the front foot stays up, so the rear knee travels further down.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on a low step, dumbbells at the sides, feet hip-width.
Steps
- Reach one foot back off the step to the floor.
- Lower until the back knee nearly touches down.
- Drive through the front foot and step back up.
Common mistakes
Short step back: the front knee shoots forward; reach long. Toppling as the foot leaves the step: brace and move slowly. Bells swinging on the return: step back up under control.
Breathing
Inhale stepping back, exhale rising.
