Pulley Reverse Lunge (alternating) Tips

  1. Start by attaching the pulley at waist height, stand tall with feet hip-width apart, and hold the handle with both hands.
  2. Step back with one foot, keeping your chest up and shoulders back, and lower your back knee towards the ground.
  3. Engage your quads by pushing through your front heel as you stand back up, focusing on the contraction in your thigh muscles.
  4. Keep your core tight throughout the movement to maintain stability and prevent any excessive leaning forward or backward.
  5. Alternate legs with each rep, ensuring a smooth and controlled motion to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.
  6. As you step back, aim to achieve a 90-degree angle in both knees, ensuring proper alignment and activation of the quads.
  7. Remember to breathe steadily throughout the exercise, inhaling as you lower and exhaling as you push back up.
