THE REVERSE LUNGE TO ROW
Why we like it:

- It helps build coordination and balance
- This exercise facilitates gluteal recruitment during the hip extension phase of the lunge
- The combination of the rowing pattern and hip extension encourages proper activation of your posterior sling, which is an essential core stabilization pattern

Recommended sets & reps:
[list type=”4″]
- 3 x 10 per side
- Pick a rowing weight that is 60-70% of your max. so that you can focus on the quality of your lunge and single leg balance

Frequency:
