Weighted Reverse Lunge

"With reverse lunges, I prefer to do one leg at a time as opposed to alternating if you are looking to build muscle," Molly said. "Your quads will be working on the controlled step down, and your glutes and hamstring kick in to stand back up."

  • Stand with your feet together, with a bar on your shoulders or a dumbbell in each hand, as shown.
  • Place your weight on your right leg and take a large step behind you. Lunge, lowering yourself toward the ground until both knees are at 90-degree angle.
  • Return to standing. Repeat for 10 to 12 reps, then switch sides.
