How to Do Reverse Lunge Crane Exercises

ALICE MONSAERT: As with most of the exercises that I teach, I love to add a balance position at the end. So this is going to be, again, a reverse lunge position. Step back, let the body weight drop down, and then we're coming up to a crane position. From that crane, you can also do a leg extension if you wish. So reverse lunge, lift, crane, and add a little leg extension. You can also add your weights and of course use your bench to increase your intensity. So movement would look like this: Starting with your reverse lunge and then lifting so you hit the balanced position, tightening up the supporting leg, reverse the lunge and lift, and again you can add the leg extension if you'd like. Weights can be down, weights can be in front of you, wherever you feel most comfortable and most balanced. If you extend the leg, you might want to add a bicep curl for an extra challenge. Again, as you get used to the exercise and you are no longer feeling the results of it, power up that bench, you'll get those hot legs in a minute.
