Exercise Description

The ipsilateral load dumbbell reverse lunge builds single-leg strength and fixes muscle imbalances. It torches your quads while improving balance and stability.

How To

1. Hold a dumbbell in your right hand and stand tall with feet hip-width apart 2. Step your right foot back into a deep lunge while keeping the dumbbell on the same side 3. Lower until both knees hit 90 degrees, keeping your front knee over your ankle 4. Push through your front heel to return to starting position for the ipsilateral load dumbbell reverse lunge 5. Complete all reps on one side before switching the dumbbell to your left hand and stepping back with your left foot

Form Tips

• Keep the dumbbell close to your body throughout the entire ipsilateral load dumbbell reverse lunge movement • Don't let your front knee cave inward - push it out in line with your toes • Keep most of your weight on your front leg, not the back leg • Stand tall with your chest up and core tight during the ipsilateral load dumbbell reverse lunge

Common Mistakes

• Taking too small of a step back, which puts extra stress on your front knee during the ipsilateral load dumbbell reverse lunge • Leaning forward too much instead of keeping your torso upright • Pushing off your back foot instead of driving through your front heel when returning to start in the ipsilateral load dumbbell reverse lunge
