Dumbbell Lunges

How to Perform This Exercise

1. 1 Stand upright, dumbbells at your sides.
2. 2 Take a large step forward (or backward) while keeping your torso upright.
3. 3 Bend both knees to 90 degrees, rear knee hovering just above the floor.
4. 4 Push through your front heel to return to the starting position.
5. 5 Alternate legs or work one side at a time depending on the variation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Letting the knees cave inward during the movement.
• Not going deep enough, limiting muscle recruitment.
• Rounding the back instead of maintaining an upright and braced posture.
