Bodyweight reverse lunge

The working foot stays in place while the other foot steps back. That fixed front footprint helps you compare balance on the left and right.

Technique

1. Start upright and slide one foot back through the air. Land on the ball of that foot with space between your feet sideways.
2. Lower the rear knee towards the floor, then press through the planted front foot to bring the feet together.

Common mistakes

• Stepping directly behind the front heel makes balance harder. Keep a hip-width gap between your tracks.
