Smith Machine Non-Alternating Reverse Lunges

Also known as Smith Machine Reverse Lunges

What It Is

A backward step under a guided bar, so you can load one leg with extra balance support. It builds leg strength and steadiness.

How to Do It

Set the bar just below shoulder height, step under it and twist it off the hooks, feet under the bar. Step one foot back and lower until your back knee hovers just above the floor. Push through your front foot to return. Do all reps on one side, then switch.

Tips

Keep your front knee in line with your toes. Step back far enough that your torso stays tall.

Skill Level

Intermediate. Free-weight lifts, single-leg balance under load, or near-bodyweight strength moves. Form matters.

Type

Strength. Builds muscle and strength with controlled, resisted movement.

Engagement

Unilateral (Non-Alternating). Do every rep on one side, then switch.
