Crossover Reverse Lunge

This one's a bit of a dance move - stepping back and across, challenging your balance and firing up those glutes. It's like a bear sidestepping through the forest, agile and strong. Great for building stability and leg strength.

Instructions

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Take a step back with your right leg, crossing it behind your left leg.
3. Lower your hips until your left thigh is nearly parallel to the floor.
4. Make sure your left knee is directly above your left ankle.
5. Return to the starting position by pressing through your left heel and bringing your right foot forward.
6. Repeat on the other side.
