Reverse Lunge To Standing Leg Raise (alternating)

Video coming soon...

The reverse lunge to standing leg raise is a bodyweight exercise that targets the quads and abs.

By stepping back into a lunge and then raising the opposite leg, the quads are engaged to stabilize the body.

The abs are activated as they help maintain balance during the leg raise movement.

While other muscles may be involved, the focus of this exercise is primarily on the quads and abs.

Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, arms relaxed by your sides.
Take a step back with your right foot, landing on the ball of your foot and bending both knees to lower your body into a lunge position.
Ensure your front knee is directly above your ankle, and your back knee is hovering just above the ground.
Push through your front heel to stand back up, bringing your right foot forward to meet your left foot.
As you stand up, lift your right knee up towards your chest, keeping your core engaged for balance.
Lower your right foot back down to the ground, and immediately step back with your left foot to perform a reverse lunge on the other side.
Repeat the lunge and leg raise on the left side, alternating between right and left with each repetition.

Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart, engaging your core and keeping your shoulders relaxed. This exercise requires no equipment, making it perfect for beginners who prefer bodyweight workouts.
Take a big step backward with your right foot, lowering your body into a lunge position. Ensure that your left knee is directly above your left ankle, and your right knee hovers just above the ground.
As you push through your left heel to stand back up, bring your right knee up towards your chest in a controlled manner. This movement engages your quads and activates your abs, helping to improve your overall form.
Focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout the exercise, ensuring that you’re fully extending your leg during the standing leg raise. This will help you build strength in your quads and improve your balance.
Remember to breathe deeply and exhale as you raise your leg, engaging your core muscles even more. Visualize your quads getting stronger with each repetition, and feel the burn as you challenge yourself to go a little bit further each time.
