This reverse lunge variation integrates lower-body strength with spinal rotation and upper-body coordination. Stepping back into a tall lunge creates stability, while the overhead reach and open twist encourage space through the torso. Rotate smoothly toward the forward leg, keeping the spine long and the hips level. Avoid rushing, narrowing the stance too much, or collapsing forward during the twist. Intentional breathing helps organize the movement, and light dumbbells can be added for extra load if desired. Move slowly, stay balanced, and let the twist feel expansive rather than forced.
