Exercise Description

The dumbbell lunge builds strong quads while working your glutes and hamstrings. This move improves balance, builds leg power, and helps you move better in daily life.

How To

1. Hold dumbbells at your sides with feet hip-width apart and core tight 2. Step your right foot forward 2-3 feet into a wide stance for the dumbbell lunge 3. Lower your body by bending both knees until your back knee nearly touches the ground 4. Push through your front heel to return to standing position in one smooth motion 5. Complete all reps on one side before switching legs to finish your dumbbell lunge set

Form Tips

• Keep your front knee directly over your ankle during the dumbbell lunge movement • Drop straight down instead of leaning forward to protect your back and knees • Take a big enough step forward so your dumbbell lunge feels stable and controlled • Keep your chest up and shoulders back throughout the entire range of motion

Common Mistakes

• Stepping too short which puts stress on your front knee during the dumbbell lunge • Letting your front knee cave inward instead of tracking over your toes • Pushing off your back foot instead of driving through your front heel in the dumbbell lunge
