Personal Trainer
Strength for Runners - Reverse Lunge


Full lower body exercise working hamstrings, glutes, and quads.

For a more advanced exercise, you can bring your knee up causing the hip to be involved.

Also helps with coordination and balance.

Exercise Tip: Step up reverse lunge is much safer than the forward lunge often done by runners walking around a track.
