Dumbbell lunge: how to do it

1 of 4

Dumbbells by your sides

  1. Starting position

    Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand by your sides.

  2. The movement

    Step forward, lower your back knee toward the floor, then push through your front foot to return to the start.

Most common mistake

Don't take a step that is too short, place your front foot far enough forward to lower with steady balance.
