Gymstick Reverse Lunge Tips

  1. Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart and your gymstick held horizontally across your shoulders, gripping it with both hands. This exercise primarily targets your quads and glutes, so it’s important to engage these muscles right from the beginning.
  2. Take a big step backward with your right foot, landing on the ball of your foot first and then lowering your heel to the ground. As you lower your body, focus on keeping your torso upright and your core tight. This will help you maintain balance and stability throughout the movement.
  3. As you lower into the lunge, aim to create a 90-degree angle with both your front and back knees. Your front knee should be directly above your ankle, and your back knee should be hovering just above the ground. This deep range of motion will maximize the activation of your quads and glutes.
  4. Push through your front heel to return to the starting position, bringing your right foot back to meet your left foot. Remember to keep your core engaged and your upper body stable throughout the movement. This will help you maintain control and prevent any unnecessary strain on your joints.
