Suspension Trainer Reverse Lunge (alternating)

Video coming soon...

The suspension trainer reverse lunge is a workout that primarily targets the quads and glutes.

By using the suspension trainer, you can increase the challenge and engage these muscles more effectively.

The suspension trainer provides instability, forcing your muscles to work harder to maintain balance and control.

While the workout also activates the core and other muscles, its main focus is on the quads and glutes.

Stand facing the suspension trainer with your feet hip-width apart.
Hold the handles of the suspension trainer with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
Step back with your left foot, keeping your right foot planted firmly on the ground.
Bend both knees to lower your body into a lunge position, ensuring your right knee stays directly above your ankle.
Push through your right heel to return to the starting position, bringing your left foot back to meet your right foot.
Repeat the movement, this time stepping back with your right foot.
Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions.

Start by adjusting the suspension trainer to a suitable height, ensuring the handles are at chest level. Stand facing away from the anchor point, grasping the handles with a firm grip, and step back to create tension in the straps.
Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button in towards your spine, and maintain a tall posture throughout the exercise. This will help stabilize your body and prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
Step back with one foot, lowering your body into a lunge position. Keep your front knee aligned with your ankle, and your back knee hovering just above the ground. Focus on pushing through your front heel to activate your quadriceps and glutes.
As you push back up to the starting position, drive through your front heel, engaging your glutes to propel your body upwards. Maintain control and avoid using momentum to ensure maximum muscle engagement.
Alternate legs and repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions. Remember to breathe consistently throughout the movement, inhaling as you lower into the lunge and exhaling as you push back up. With practice, you’ll gradually improve your form, strengthen your quads and glutes, and feel more confident in your suspension trainer workouts!
