Step by step
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides with arms relaxed and shoulders pulled down and back.
- Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and brace your core to set a stable starting position.
- Step forward with one leg into a long lunge, lowering your back knee toward the floor.
- Stop when your back knee is an inch above the floor and your front thigh is parallel to the ground.
- Drive through the heel of your front foot to push back to a tall standing position.
- Repeat the lunge with the opposite leg and continue alternating for the prescribed reps.
