Sandbag Reverse Lunge Zercher Grip (alternating) Tips

  1. Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart, holding the sandbag in the crook of your arms, close to your chest, with your palms facing up. This is your starting position.
  2. Take a big step backward with your right foot, landing on the ball of your foot, and lower your body down into a lunge position. Make sure your left knee is directly above your left ankle, and your right knee is hovering just above the ground.
  3. As you lower into the lunge, focus on engaging your quads and glutes by pushing through your front heel to stand back up to the starting position. Imagine you are pushing the ground away from you with each rep, activating those muscles to their fullest potential.
  4. Alternate legs and repeat the movement, stepping back with your left foot this time. Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability and control.
  5. Remember to keep your upper body upright and your chest lifted, avoiding any rounding of the shoulders. This will help you maintain proper form and prevent unnecessary strain on your lower back.
