No.5 - Reverse lunge
This is another great lower body exercise and it’s easy to learn. Unlike the deadlift and squat, which take a bit more coaching to get the hang of, almost everyone can do a perfect reverse lunge within minutes of seeing the exercise. Taking a large step back and pulling through the heel of your front leg will help strengthen your hamstrings and glutes. This can also be done by holding dumbbells, which helps to strengthen your forearms. Improving grip and forearm strength can help prevent musculoskeletal problems of the hand/forearm muscles from excessive typing (i.e., carpal tunnel syndrome).
