Dumbbell Goblet Side Lunge Stretch

Positioning

1. Start Position: Stand upright with your feet approximately shoulder-width apart. Hold the dumbbell with both hands close to your chest, keeping your elbows tucked in. Your palms should be facing the dumbbell.

Movement Instructions

2. Step Out: Take a step to the left with your left leg, keeping your right leg straight.

5. Return to Start: Push off with your left foot to return to the starting position.
6. Repeat on Other Side: Now step out to the right with your right leg and repeat the lunge, making sure to maintain alignment in your knee and ankle.
