How to do the Crossover Reverse Lunge

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Perform a rear lunge by stepping back with one foot and flexing the hips and front knee. As you do so, rotate your torso across the front leg.

  3. 3

    After a brief pause, return to the starting position and repeat on the other side, continuing in an alternating fashion.
