How to do the TRX Reverse Lunge
Begin by securing the suspension trainer at an elevated point above your head height.
Stand facing away from the anchor point with feet shoulder-width apart and grasp the handles with your palms facing each other, arms extended in front of you at chest height.
Step back with one foot, allowing the front knee to bend as you lower your body into the lunge position. Make sure your front knee is aligned with your ankle and does not extend past your toes.
Lower your body until your back knee is just above the floor, creating a 90-degree angle with both knees. Ensure that your torso remains upright and your core is engaged.
Push through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position, with both legs straight.
Switch to your other leg and repeat the movement, completing the desired number of repetitions for each leg.
Be sure to perform the exercise in a controlled manner, focusing on good form throughout the movement to ensure the correct muscles are engaged and to avoid injury.
