Sets: 2-3

Reps: 10 (5 each leg)

• Hold 2 dumbbells in a front rack position. Choose a weight that feels challenging but doable. Avoid flaring your ribs to keep the weights in this position.

• Inhale as you expand the ribcage and step back into a reverse lunge. Your knee should hover just over the floor.

• Exhale as you blow you through a straw, draw in the deep core, and press through the front foot to return to stand. You should feel your glutes and quad working to push you up.

• Inhale as you step back with the other leg. Exhale and push back to stand.

Modifications:

• Decreasing the depth of your lunge

• Use a lighter weight

• Hold on to a wall for balance if needed.
