How to do it

  1. 01

    Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.

  2. 02

    Perform a rear lunge by stepping back with one foot and flexing the hips and front knee. As you do so, rotate your torso across the front leg.

  3. 03

    After a brief pause, return to the starting position and repeat on the other side, continuing in an alternating fashion.

In the app

Crossover Reverse Lunge appears when you own the kit it needs and the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have the kit it needs

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
