Exercise Ball Overhead Reverse Lunge (alternating) Tips

  1. Focus on maintaining a strong core throughout the exercise by engaging your abdominal muscles. This will help stabilize your body and prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
  2. Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart, holding the exercise ball with both hands overhead. Take a step back with your right foot, lowering your body into a lunge position.
  3. As you lower into the lunge, make sure your front knee stays directly above your ankle, forming a 90-degree angle. This will ensure proper engagement of your quadriceps, the muscles on the front of your thighs.
  4. As you push through your front heel to stand back up, focus on squeezing your glutes, the muscles in your buttocks. This will not only help you maintain balance but also strengthen and tone your glutes.
  5. Remember to alternate legs with each repetition, stepping back with your left foot for the next lunge. This will provide a balanced workout for both sides of your body, helping you develop symmetrical strength in your quads and glutes.
