BALANCE PAD REVERSE LUNGE

This is a balance or proprioception exercise for the foot and ankle. It is a modification of the reverse lunge exercise that uses a balance pad to provide an unstable surface. Start by standing on a balance pad. Complete a reverse lunge by stepping back with one foot and planting it using the balls of your toes. Dip the body down by bending both knees to 90 degrees and step back up onto the pad.
