Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

    • Hold a dumbbell close to your chest with both hands, keeping your elbows pointed down.

  2. Taking the Lunge Step:

    • Engage your core and keep your back straight.

    • Step forward with your right foot, keeping your left foot in place.

  3. Lowering into the Lunge:

    • As you step forward, lower your body into a lunge.

    • Bend both knees to approximately 90 degrees, ensuring that your right knee is directly above your right ankle.

    • Your left knee should come close to the ground but not touch.

  4. Returning to Starting Position:

    • Push through your right heel to return to the starting position.

    • Bring your right foot back to meet your left foot.

  5. Repeating the Movement:

    • Switch sides and step forward with your left foot to perform the lunge on the left side.

    • Continue to alternate lunges for your desired number of repetitions.

Tips:

  • Keep your chest up and avoid leaning forward.

  • Maintain a steady pace and focus on your balance.

  • If you're a beginner, you can perform the movement without a dumbbell until you feel comfortable.
