Exercise number 1 of 4 in the build glute strength for cycling success series.
Reverse Lunge Knee Driver
This combines a deep reverse lunge and high knee movement.
The deeper the reverse lunge the more this exercise targets the glutes, whereas the closer the rear leg is to the front leg the more it targets the quads.
Remember to keep your weight through your front heel as your step backwards and forwards.
Have a play around with the length of your reverse lunge to see what works best for you.
The key to this exercise is controlled movements, it is not about how many you can bang out in a minute.
I complete 15 reps per leg, but adjust the reps according to your fitness level.
