Reverse Lunge Arm Reach Twist

Perform a reverse lunge while reaching your arms overhead and twisting your torso. This movement engages your core and improves balance.

  1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart.
  2. Step back with your right foot into a lunge, keeping your left knee over your ankle.
  3. As you lower into the lunge, reach your arms overhead and twist your torso to the left.
  4. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.

How to perform the Reverse Lunge Arm Reach Twist

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Reverse Lunge Arm Reach Twist using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your quadriceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your quadriceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
