Instructions
Proper Position
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height, with your palms facing each other.
- Slightly bend your elbows and keep the dumbbells close to your shoulders, with your forearms vertical.
- Keep your back straight, core engaged, and feet hip-width apart.
Movement
- Take a large step forward with one leg and lower your body into a lunge position, until your back knee is close to the floor (about 90° at both knees).
- Push through the heel of your front foot to stand, then step forward with the other leg into the next lunge.
- Continue alternating legs as you walk for the desired distance or number of repetitions.
- Keep the dumbbells stable at shoulder height throughout the movement.
Breathing
- Inhale as you lower into the lunge.
- Exhale as you rise and step forward.
Tips
- Maintain an upright posture with shoulders aligned and hips stable.
- Focus on pushing through your heel to activate your quads and glutes.
- Use a manageable weight to maintain proper form.
- Avoid letting your front knee go past your toes to protect the joint.
