Reverse Lunges

Reverse Lunges

Reverse lunges are an excellent exercise to tone and strengthen your legs. Start by standing up straight. Step your left foot back and lower your body until both legs form a 90-degree angle. Then, push back up through your right foot to stand up straight again. Repeat on the other side. This exercise should be performed in three sets of 8-12 repetitions.
