The Reverse lunge is a great exercise for the entire leg, as well as the abdominals and your metabolism. Are you doing it correctly? Listen to Fit Girl Guide Podcast episode Fit 185 for more info!
Common mistakes when doing the Reverse Lunge include:
lifting of the front leg heel
using the rear leg too much
leaning forward
poor posture
Key points to focus on for a good Reverse Lunge:
Keep shoulders back and down for proper posture
Focus on the front leg, which is your working leg
Drag your rear leg, don't use it!
Move slowly
Keep the heel of the front leg pressed into the floor
The Triceps Pressdown video below shows you the right way to do this arm sculpting exercise! Always keep your elbows back and stationary! A little stretch at top is ok, but don't go so far the elbows move. Squeeze your triceps at bottom, error on the slow side! Check out the wrong way to do Triceps Pressdowns in episode Fit 153. Use various handles to change up this exercise. It is by far one of the best triceps shaping exercises you can do!

A form of this stretch is also used in my DVD workouts, Ball Sculpt 1: Nothing But the BallandAb Sculpt & Yoga StretchThis stretch is much like the pigeon stretch in yoga. Using the ball enables a great lower back stretch at the same time. Plus, it's fun to do!
Stretching your glutes is important to the overall health of your back, especially the lower back.
If the glutes are over tight, they can affect the lower back, spine and even your upper back. Releasing the glutes with a solid, focused stretch like this one aids in proper alignment of the legs and hips, as well a release on the low back. It's all tied together! Sometimes we forget that each muscle does have a specific stretch! Be sure to include this one before and/or after your next weight training or cardio session!
The video has voice instructions and counting for you to pace yourself correctly! Load it in your iPod or iPhone

regular pace could be slower!
During the exercise focus on the key points:
elbows back
shoulders back
biceps focus
squeeze biceps
control the weight
With these tips you'll have sculpted, shapely biceps in no time!
