How to do the Crossover Reverse Lunge

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

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