Dumbbell Reverse Lunge and Press Exercise

Audion for Dumbbell Reverse Lunge and Press Exercise

I saved the most tiring exercise until last. You can thank me for that later. I think you’re going to enjoy it; it’s the Reverse Lunge with an Overhead Press, Double-Arm Overhead Press. We’re going to take a Reverse Lunge, and then as we stand upright, we’re going to press the dumbbells overhead. This is what it looks like.

Start at the feet at hip-width apart. You want the dumbbells at the shoulder height. Keep those wrists nice and tight, and can keep them straight as well. Don’t let the weight pull the wrists back. Keep it nice and straight. From here, we’re going to take a good Reverse Lunge back. Remember, you’re looking for that square, that block in between your legs; 90 degrees, so about here, 90 degrees here, 90 degrees here. You’re going to let the knee just kiss the floor. From here, you’re going to drive up, use momentum to drive the dumbbells up. Keep the core tight. From here, the dumbbells come back down, we Reverse Lunge with the opposite leg. Down and up. Down and up. Down and up. Timing is the key here. Dumbbells come down as we Reverse Lunge; dumbbells come up as we drive up. Alternating sides. Just let the knee kiss or hover above the floor behind you. Bring the dumbbells in towards the center at the top.

That’s the Reverse Lunge & Press; it’s really going to get the heart rate going, and the shoulders really feeling it at this time, as well. It’s the last exercise. Alternate legs, and you’ve got 20 to do in total. Go for it. Best of luck.
