Blast your booty and thighs with this killer exercise!
This movement is all about lengthening out the hamstring and improving balance. Perform 10-15 reps on one side before switching to the other leg for 2-4 sets per side, or include it in a circuit you're doing 2-4 rounds of.
Notes on form:
- Keep your weight evenly distributed through your standing foot during the hip hinge.
- Keep standing leg knee soft during hip hinge.
- Squeeze the glute of the leg that's lifting during the hip hinge to keep the lower back supported.
- Pull belly tight during knee lift to engage the core for better balance and lengthen that hamstring.
- Back leg bends to 90 degree angle for reverse lunge so that shin is parallel to the floor.
- Only the ball of the foot touches when stepping back to reverse lunge. Keep heel elevated.
- Drive through heel of front foot to stand back up out of lunge in one quick, powerful movement.
Tell me how your hamstrings, (the back of your thighs), feel 2 days later... ;) IG/TW: @cassiebstrong #BStrong.
