Dumbbell lateral lunges
Intermediate10 repsNo jumping
How to do it
- Start standing with your feet together and a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
- Keep your back straight, chest out, and look forward.
- Then, take a large step to the side with one leg, keeping the other leg in place.
- At the same time, bend the knee of the moved foot until the thigh is parallel to the floor, and lower the dumbbells to either side of the forward foot.
- Make sure to keep your torso upright and not allow your front knee to go over the ball of your foot.
- Finally, push with the leg that took the step to return to the starting position.
- That would be a repeat.
- Then, repeat the movement with the other leg.
- Remember, it is important to perform this exercise with a load that allows you to maintain correct technique and control the movement at all times.
