Instructions

Proper Position

  • Hold a dumbbell in each hand and press them overhead, keeping your arms straight. Palms should face forward.
  • Keep your shoulders engaged and your back straight. Engage your core to stabilize your upper body.
  • Position your feet hip-width apart before starting.

Movement

  • Step forward with one leg into a lunge position. Lower until your back knee is close to the floor, forming about a 90° angle at both knees.
  • Push through the heel of your front foot to rise, then step forward with the other leg into the next lunge.
  • Keep the dumbbells stable overhead throughout the movement, avoiding arching your back.
  • Continue alternating legs as you move forward for the desired distance or number of repetitions.

Breathing

  • Inhale as you lower into the lunge.
  • Exhale as you rise and step forward.

Tips

  • Keep the dumbbells aligned with your shoulders and your arms fully extended to prevent them from tipping forward or sideways.
  • Focus on maintaining an upright posture, with your hips and shoulders aligned.
  • If the exercise is too challenging, use lighter dumbbells or perform the lunges without weights to start.
  • Avoid letting your front knee go past your toes to protect your joint.
