How to do a dumbbell lunge

Setup:

1. Grip: Hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides with a neutral grip.
2. Stance: Stand tall with your feet together, chest up, and shoulders back.

The Movement:

1. Step Forward: Take a large step forward with one leg.
2. Lower: Lower your hips until both knees are bent at approximately a 90-degree angle. Your front knee should be directly above your ankle, and your back knee should be hovering just above the ground.
3. Push Off: Drive through the heel of your front foot to push yourself back to the starting position.
4. Alternate: Repeat the movement with the opposite leg. You can alternate legs with each rep or complete all reps on one side before switching.

Tips:

• Keep your torso upright and your core engaged throughout the movement.
• Don't let your front knee travel past your toes.
• This can also be performed as a reverse lunge (stepping backward) or a walking lunge.
