If you want to really work on your balance while you strengthen your legs, the reverse lunge to knee drive is a good choice. You'll work your leg and glute muscles through the lunge portion and challenge your abs and balance with the knee drive. You can do this leg workout move with bodyweight (shown) or, to make it more difficult, with dumbbells (hold them by your sides throughout the move).
- Stand with your feet together, holding a weight in each hand by your sides.
- Step your right foot back, lowering into a lunge so your back knee hovers just off the ground.
- Push off your right foot and drive your right knee forward so it's even with your left hip.
- Without touching the floor with your right foot, step back into the lunge to start your second rep.
- Do the same number of reps on both sides.
